SATAN'S DOLL [Bimba Di Santana] (1969) Erna Schurer
1712DVD
A
Wonderful Mixture of Gothic and Giallo in this Euro Rarity
Not
to be confused with Mario Bianchi's SATAN'S
BABY DOLL [Bimba Di Santana] (1982),
this one was made a decade earlier by Ferruccio Casapinta. Mr Casapinta
is an enigma; he's virtually unknown with the exception of writing and
directing this thriller. Some sources
claim it's really Spaghetti Western director Giorgio Cristallini hiding
behind a pseudonym.
The
plot deals with a young couple - Elizabeth and Jack - traveling to an
old castle in France for the reading of her deceased uncle's will. As
it turns out, the castle and grounds are left to Elizabeth. A local businessman
offers to buy the place, but she says no. Very soon thereafter, Elizabeth
is plagued with strange dreams and unexplained horrific events. But even
the obvious isn't as obvious as the audience might expect... yes, there
is something sinister going on and Elizabeth finds herself the victim
in a cellar torture chamber.
An
Italian production with English subtitles; widescreen format, totally
uncut version (89 min.), DVD encoded for ALL REGION NTSC, playable on
