the dvd for danaza macabra ( castle of blood ) be very odd . that because part of the film be in french with subtitle and the rest be dub into english from the french . sometimes and character switch between the two in the middle of a scene . when i try to get the film to be just subtitle or just dub and it make no difference . odd and but still watchable . the story purport to be base on a poe story and though i can not recall which one . in fact and the character of poe appear in the beginning and end of the film though it do not look especially like him . a rich man make a bet with a guy down on his luck that he can not stay the entire night in a manner home . it seem like an easy bet to win even if the house be very creepy . however and it can not be that easy and a the rich guy say that all those who previously take the bet die yet this fool still want to make the wager . while in the home and he meet lovely barbara steele within and fall madly for her . later and however and he learn that she die more than a decade earlier . how can this be . i could tell you more about the plot but do not want to spoil any of the suspense . see it for yourself to find out the rest of the story . this film get very high mark for create a creepy atmosphere . the house and black and white cinematography and music work together to make for a scary look film . a for the plot and it interest especially because there be many twist and turn so many that you be wonder just who be and who isn not among the undead by the end of the film . the only negative be that i felt sorry for the poor snake that be needlessly kill . crazy a it might sound and i felt sorry for it and it hardly seem necessary . also and parent may want to know that towards the end there be a bit of nudity . a strikingly beautiful woman appear topless and but it hardly necessary for the plot .
