lord alan cunningham ( antonio de teffè ) be a nutjob { see early on try to escape an insane asylum } and with this castle slowly succumb to ruin and like to kill various hooker who resemble his deceased wife evelyn and a woman who betray him for another man and with those red lock . this nutcase be quite wealthy and his bachelor status can be quite allure . he and however and be overrun by his obsession with his late wife memory ( specifically her adultery . he saw her naked with the lover ) . while the memory of evelyn be almost devour his whole existence and alan try his best to find true love and believe he have with gladys ( marina malfatti and who spend most of the film naked . that probably her lone attribute since she isn not a very good actress ) and who agree to marry him after a very short courtship which should probably throw up flag right away { there a key moment of dialogue where she know exactly to the very amount what he be worth } . the only real person alan can confide in be his doctor from the hospital and dr. richard timberlane ( giacomo rossi stuart ) . there be other key character in this film that revolve around alan . alan cousin and george ( rod murdock ) and seem to be quite a good friend who often supply him victim . i mean date and while hold onto hope of get his lord estate some day . albert ( roberto maldera ) and evelyn brother and be a witness to alan slaughter and and instead of turn him into the police and squeeze him for cash . aunt agatha ( joan c davis ) and wheelchair bound and live at the castle estate and be often see snoop around behind cracked door . we later find that she be have a love affair with albert . all that be describe above service the rest of the story which show what appear to be the ghost of evelyn haunting alan and someone be kill off member of the cast family that revolve around alan and and the body of evelyn be indeed miss . the ultimate question be who be commit the crime after alan and gladys be marry and where be evelyn body and and will alan go over the edge . i have to be honest and say i just do not really care much for this film . it badly uneven and the pacing be all over the place . it look great on the new dvd and the rise from the grave sequence be cool and but what really hurt the film in my mind be that the entire cast be unlikable . you really have a hard time care for alan because he be a psychotic who be skate on thin ice in regard to hold his sanity . he can be quite volatile . who commit the crime really isn not that great a surprise for after several key character be murder off and there aren not but a choice few who could be do it . what happen to alan doesn not really make your throat gulp because you can make the argument he just get what he deserve . those behind the whole scheme of the film in regard to alan and a i point out before and aren not that shock because if you be just slightly aware of certain circumstance ( . or advantage they would have ) that would benefit them with the collapse of alan sanity and then everything just come off less than stellar . i think the editing be choppy and unexciting and but the acting from the entire cast be really below par . some stylistics help and there be a sniff of gothic atmosphere in the graveyard sequence to help it some .
