AN ANGEL FOR SATAN (1966)
A sculptor is brought to restore an allegedly cursed statue of a woman in this Italian gothic.
Said statue resembles the character as played by Barbara Steele, who enjoys one of her best ( and certainly sexiest ) roles in this black and white gem, steeped in loads of atmosphere, ghostly castles and thunderstorms.
The Blu Ray from Severin looks absolutely stunning.
BEYOND TERROR. (1980)
A group of young thugs rob a bank, terrorise an old lady in her own home, then end up in a haunted church inhabited by the undead in this bizarre Spanish oddity.
It’s a pity the undead section only features in the last third, as it is quite effective ( even if it doesn’t make a lot of sense).
Not the greatest film you’ll ever see by any stretch of the imagination, but entertaining in its own ( sometimes unintentionally ) funny way.
