Horror (1963, ITA/SPA) 88m. **½ D: Alberto De Martino. Starring Joan Hills, Helga Liné, Richard Davis, Francisco Morán, Gérard Tichy. Typical Italian gothic horror melodrama, in plot and tone very close to Roger Corman’s Poe adaptations. Shortly before her 21st birthday, Hills returns to her father’s castle only to learn that he is dead. What terrible secret is her brother hiding from her? Chiller starts well, then bogs down in the second half. Still, a must for aficionados of the genre. Good, dramatic score by Carlo Franci. Written by Bruno Corbucci, Giovanni Grimaldi and Natividad Zaro. From the director of ROMA COME CHICAGO. Aka THE BLANCHEVILLE MONSTER.
