Cool sets (filming in a real castle will do that), and some very nice cinematography and music. However the story and effects are all just ok at best. The Baron's mask/makeup isn't great and they try to shoot in ways that don't let you see it much for long, but that also means I didn't get as much of him as I wanted.

This is absolutely terrible. No exaggeration, one of the worst movies I have ever seen. But what was so bad about it? I can't stress enough, everything! Every moment of this movie was bad: the camera work, the acting, the story. At no point was this entertaining. Within this complete failure, one aspect stands out as the worst part: Eva. I can't think of another character I have seen who was so stupid and annoying as her. Have you ever watched a horror movie and there was someone who you wanted to die immediately? Yeah, that's Eva. Okay, just so you can know I watched _Baron Blood_, and I'm not just leaving a negative review for fun: there is a scene where Eva throws a tapestry over a railing, and then - there's really no other way to put this - she has an orgasm. It is never explained. It never comes up again. It just happens. Moving on. There is simply no story here. Even saying there is a first act is being far too generous than I will grant. This is a long second act. There is no set up, no pay off. Nothing happens. I have to talk about the camera work. It's like the cinematographer thought zooms, pans, and lingering shots would save the movie. Given the title, the poster, and the era, I thought this was going to be a creepy sleaze fest, but there is no gore, no nudity, no atmosphere. This is on par with the worst Jess Franco films, but at least he knew that a piece of crap can be polished if you have enough sex in it. Do not watch this.

PITA PITA PITA PITA PITA

The setting is great and it's well shot but the movie didn't do much for me.
