FACELESS MONSTER 1965 (RETROMEDIA)

An all time classic with Barbara Steele!

Aka Nightmare Castle, this version runs 18 minutes longer and has much more sadism as the doctor tortures his wife and her lover after he catches them together.

Steele plays the role of both the murdered wife and her sister and she actually got to dub her own voice on the soundtrack this time. Paul Muller is her sadistic husband and gorgeous Helga Line is the maid Solange, who is having an affair with the doctor. There are some great lines in this film including one where Solange tells the doctor, "It's not my mind that pleases you when you need me."

Great Euro horror and one of the best of it's kind. Thanks to Fred Olen Ray and Retromedia for finally making this available in uncut form and in widescreen.
