About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you like moody, old-school gothic horror with sensual undertones and a haunted-house chill similar to Black Sabbath; Not for you if you need fast pacing or nonstop scares.
Pros: creepy gothic atmosphere; haunting black-and-white look; memorable haunted-castle setting | Cons: slow opening stretch; talky scenes; uneven English dubbing
