Stay clear of this version!,
This review is from: Terror Creatures from the Grave (DVD)
Wow, what a disappointment.The Alpha Video release of this movie is terrible! I was so looking forward to watching this film and didn't mind the poor video quality, but when I heard Barbara Steele's voice, well let's just say that it is so bad I am starting to believe it isn't even hers. There has got to be a better release than this one, and even if it is three times the cost of the Alpha Video version, it will be worth it. Save your money and stay clear of this version. Cheers!

Oh, The Terror! The Terror!,
By Bindy Sue Frønkünschtein "bigfootsalienbaby" (under the rubble) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Terror Creatures from the Grave (DVD)
A lawyer (Walter Brandi) receives a letter from a strange client named Jeronimus Hauff, who wants a will drawn up. Upon his arrival at the dark castle of Jeronimus (complete with a glass case full of mummified hands), the lawyer finds out that Hauff's been dead for a year! It seems that Mr. Hauff was dedicated to the supernatural, especially raising the dead. His castle was once a hospital where plague victims stayed and died. It is of course, cursed. You see, five men (along with Mrs. Hauff) circulated a petition to have Hauff run out of town, so Jeronimus gathered them together and threatened to expose the bad things he knew about each of them. One of the five killed Hauff to the collective glee of the others. Jeronimus cursed them all with his dying breath. One year later, the five men are turning up dead, covered in icky sores. One of them commits suicide by impaling himself on a sword. The lawyer falls in love with Jeronimus' beautiful daughter and must figure out how they can stay alive. There are some interesting sequences in between stretches of dullness. Barbara Steele plays Jeronimus' cheating wife. Her huge eyes are definitely a high point. There's a nice bathtub scene with, alas, too many bubbles. Her Morticia-esque looks and perma-frown are perfect for the gloomy happenings. I just wish it had been more frightening! I mean, a glass case full of mummified hands comes to life, only to wiggle around a little bit? Not even one nice strangulation scene?? Sheesh...

Wretchedly Poor DVD Transfer,
By cameron-vale "cameron-vale" (Seattle, WA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Terror Creatures from the Grave (DVD)
This Alpha Video DVD release of an impressively moody and generally underrated Italian horror yarn is a wretched, unwatchable mess. The image is blurred and smeary, and appears to have been taken from a murky fourth-generation bootleg videotape transfer. The horribly garbled sound renders nearly all of the dialogue unintelligible, and absolutely ruins Aldo Piga's score. This is one of the absolute worst legitimate DVD releases I've ever seen, easily on par with Madacy's hideous TRACK OF THE VAMPIRE/NIGHTMARE CASTLE combo. Barbara Steele and Euro-Horror fans are strongly advised to steer clear of this one, despite the tantalizingly cheap list price.
