the long hair of death (1964)


aka I lunghi capelli della morte.
"Evil shall stalk you by night..."
Medieval Europe and a woman is burnt to death, following accusations of witchcraft. Her eldest daughter (Barbara Steele) appeals to Count Humboldt (Giuliano Raffaelli) to stop this miscarrage, but he seduces then kills her. Now the youngest daughter, with no family to look after her, is taken in by Humboldt, and when of age marries the Count's son. Then a mystery woman arrives, the spitting image of the elder daughter...
An atmospheric, though slow, little horror.
