I'll admit that this film is not perfectly shot, but every single other aspect is perfect. It's one of the best movies ever made. I have seen it 4 or 5 times and it just keeps getting better so I've got to finally bestow it my extremely rare 5 star rating.

It's decent, and well worth a watch for horror aficionados, but an early "meh" from Bava in my eyes.

Must watch for any horror movie fan.
