a an avid lover of horror make in bella italia and who have see hundred of italian horror production and i must say that paganini horror be arguably not only the dumb and but also the most boring and tiresome italian horror film ever bring to screen ( i be not count claudio fragasso disastrous troll 2 and which be and in my opinion and not horror and and neither be it really italian ) . not even the casting of the great donald pleasence and regular italian horror actress daria nicolodi can save paganini horror and a this have absolutely nothing to offer except for mild amusement about all it ludicrous aspect . i do not have high expectation for paganini horror a fellow horror lover have already warn me about how ridiculously bad it be and yet i somehow wished i be in for a positive surprise and since director luigi cozzi be generally a gifted man and a film like his highly unusual and but equally highly memorable giallo the killer must kill again ( 1975 ) prove . paganini horror and however have nothing to recommend it for and which be too bad and since a satanic horror film about paganini could have become something good and or at least highly entertaining and if someone have put a little more heart into it . after the producer of a mostly female rock band keep nag about the lack of originality in their ( terrible . ) new song and the only male band member and the drummer and purchase an unopened document with an unknown paganini score from a sinister man ( pleasance ) . supposedly base on this paganini document and the band produce a new ( and equally awful ) song and and decide to make a video clip in paganini old mansion the mansion in which the famous violin virtuoso have once sign a pact with the devil . sound cheesy and and it be and but not only be it very and very dumb cheese and even though the film be only 80 minute long and the temptation to fast forward become big with each pass minute after a while . even the gore effect be awful and there an incredibly corny look electrocution sequence which be so crappy it really have to be see to be believe . apart from donald pleasence ( one of my favorite actor ) and daria nicolodi and the performance be also god awful . still pleasence and nicolodi raise the quality a little bit ( but certainly not very much ) . otherwise and this have little to no redeem quality . avoid .
