Jack S @RT58840043 05/23/2024 Some stylish visuals can’t save this otherwise forgettable (and very gory) horror outing that’s also marred by a silly (and not very suspenseful) climax. However, Lee can perform this sort of role in his sleep, and he’s typically effective here. See more nick s @Nick_S 11/09/2023 Good effort went into this movie, especially sets. But it wasn't a classic. The actors were dubbed over, which never sounds great. I had a hard time being scared of an old geezer called Count Regular. The villains probably should have been a little more concealed in the shadows. In the end it started to feel like a Batman and Robin episode. And about as dangerous.

See more 09/20/2009 The Torture Chamber of Dr Sadism (1967) -- [5.5] -- Before he could attain eternal life by drinking the blood of thirteen virgins, Count Regula (Christopher Lee) is captured by the villagers, put in an iron maiden's mask, then drawn and quartered. But you can never keep a good Count down. Regula comes back thirty-five years later for a little revenge. "Dr Sadism" is Germany's attempt to cash in on the success of Britain's Hammer horror films, and to some extent, they succeed. The film is beautifully shot, the sets are nice, and the cast is attractive. There's an eerie carriage ride through a forest full of body parts, and director Harald Reinl uses real vultures and snakes to dress his castle sets. But the story resorts to imitation too many times, whether it's the Bava-esque opening or the Poe-like climax. The soundtrack is hard to bear. All the dialogue is badly dubbed and the music is atrociously inappropriate at times. Still, for B-horror movie fans, there's enough here to give a gander. See more 01/10/2009 Un peu longuet...
