Scott R @ScottR Feb 20, 2026 NYT 1000 films. Sadly this one was a flop. It was more of an Italian soap opera than anything. I didn’t care what happened or identify with the poor story telling that left me wanting it to be over. Saw on box. See more Leaburn O @RT35452347 Feb 16, 2026 Well made but poorly executed. Starts promising and ends up an arduously dark bore. The excesses and internecine rivalries within a noble family in Germany come macabrely and incestuously to the boil. It just drags through the second half. Watched on DVD. See more bob c @RT46426964 Dec 29, 2025 Old but excellent. I didn’t give it five because the sound was not so good. But may be that’s my DVD See more Jose R @RT01818967 Mar 18, 2025 The Damned presents Ingrid Thulin as the ultimate aristocratic villain—cold, calculating, and oozing with the kind of evil that only unchecked greed and power can create. Her performance is a masterclass in moral decay, a chilling reminder that real-life horrors often outpace even the darkest cinema. Visconti’s portrayal of fascism is seductive in its elegance—dark, brutal, and insidious. But today’s version? It’s loud, crass, and completely devoid of any subtlety. In a strange way, the past’s refined malevolence almost seems classy by comparison. How times have changed—and not for the better. See more Jeremy W @Jerryandtom Jan 18, 2025 A pedantic, ill-researched pseudo literary Gothic collection of nonsequiturs aiming to portray nazism, military capitalist power and sordid, I mean truly sordid, family politics and greed. And a bloated, boring failure of a movie that pitches it's pretence of deep significance with screeching, shallow melodrama. See more Tamara K @Tamarak Sep 21, 2023 You know you're watching a film with no quality control when Nazis are smoking filter tipped cigarettes when they were invented until the 1950s.
