All opinions are my own. We are all different. What I may think is great, you may this terrible. Don't let my opinios stop you from exploring the vast world of horror in all media.

~Mind Blowing: Search for this movie immediately. It can only be described as pure greatness and possible an instant classic.

~So Good: Highly recommended because for one reason or another it stands out above the usual fair. Put the movie on your radar as it wont disappoint.

~In the Middle: The movie is a nothing special, average affair. It may entertain in the short term but it will be easily forgettable in the long haul.

~Warning: This movie is a cliched driven slop of familiar territory. Only watch if you're really of fan of this type of material.

The Sadistic Baron Von Klaus (1962)

AKA: La Mano de Un Hombre Muerto

Starring: Howard Vernon,
Director: Jess Franco

Premise:
A young girl is found murdered and the police expect the brother of a former Baron who had a reputation for torture, rape, and murder.

My Take:
This early Franco oozes style and has a big nod to German Expressionism. The cinemaphotography is spectacular. A solid suspenseful mystery from start to finish.

Rating: So Good
