'The Long Hair of Death' takes us poor sinners on a hair-raising, Gothic excursion far beyond the lunatic fringe of cinematic fr

Antonio Margheriti’s, ‘I Lunghi Capelli Della Morte’ aka 'The Long Hair of Death' (1964) is not only a doomily atmospheric, Barbara Steele-starring, castle-haunted, graveyard-creeping, cob-webbed chiller par excellence, but, perhaps, also the unheralded inspiration of J-Horror's most iconic visual tropes! There is no earthly, or unearthly reason why this insidiously sinister, shudder-inducing, shadow-steeped classic of supernatural terror shouldn’t be mentioned in the same bated breath as, maestro, Mario Bava’s marvellous ‘Mask of Satan’, Riccardo Freda’s equally macabre ‘The Horrible Dr. Hichcock’ (1962) and Giorgio Feroni’s classic shocker, ‘The Mill of Stone Women’ (1960). ‘Sleek and sinuous, lustrous and wickedly lurid, 'The Long Hair of Death' takes us poor sinners on a hair-raising, Gothic excursion far beyond the lunatic fringe of cinematic fright!’

They Gave Her Spirit the Right to Revenge

88 Films' Italian Collection gives a crisp and rejuvenating visual transfer of an underrated Gothic Horror Classic. The beautiful black and white cinematography is a wonder to behold, and the light to dark and dark to light contrasts help set and maintain the moody and eerie atmosphere director Antonio Margheriti intended for it. Barbara Steele and Giorgio Ardisson (credited as George Ardisson) give the best performances in the film, Steele as the alluring hypnotic beauty ghost and Ardisson as the sadistic and paranoid power hungry noble. The Italian soundtrack with subtitles is the better option as there's a crisp clarity with voices and music/sound effects, and while the English isn't bad, the attempt to mimic the original Italian falls short and isn't as believable. All in all, a ghost story with hints of witchcraft and 16th century paranoia that is above average and well worth the time and money to get.
