Movie has a very good atmosphere at it's beginning and feels very creepy. That sadly doesn't carry over the rest of the movie which start feeling more like an Italian version of Hammer horror movies than a serious try at a good horror movie. Performances aren't anything to write home about, story turns into a boring slog and even Steele isn't in her best appearance. All in all, while it could have been really good in it's time, today it's boring, though not completely devoid of it's charm and you are left with conclusion that even though the movie isn't terrible, Corman's Poe adaptations are better than what this movie managed to do. If it remained creepy and well made like in it's beginning, it would have been far better. 6.5/10! Only for the genre veterans looking for some retro entertainment.
