What makes it different from others?

SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

This is ultimately a movie about the very bad things that can happen when we don't address our unease, when we just try to brush it off, whether that's to fit in or to preserve our self-image.

The slicing of stomachs and chests and pulling out of body parts in this Euro trash horror movie ruined what started off o.k. from the aspect of how wealthy aristocrats lived. Ok, so the engaged Baron rapes a party guest mercissly then treats her with contempt for "tempting" him. When another guest disappears in the woods, the Baron and party set out to find her and end up as guests in the castle of a recluse count who is searching for female bodies to bring his recently deceased daughter back to life. She'd apparently been gang raped like the daughter of a descendent who declared revenge, killed his sadomasochistic mistress, and ended up being beheaded. Each of the party guests resembles someone from this family's sordid past, so the circle of death becomes complete as the evil of the past returns to haunt the present. What starts off interesting outside of the rape quickly becomes a repulsive excuse to show blood and guts and literally take away the heart of the story. Constant footage of live body organs being exposed and removed just shows the trashy intentions of the filmmakers that go beyond the misogynistic treatment of the female characters and the sadistic motivations of the male nobles of the time. The one villainous female shows her excitement in seeming flashbacks to the past that reveal her present self to be every bit as perverted as the character the count murdered years before. Interesting to note the inclusion of blonde, black and red haired women, all typed simply for that. Strangely enough, it is the explanatory parts of the film that stand out. From a horror standpoint, this is just repulsive.

Totally incoherent and horribly slow with unrelated close-up surgical footage literally thrown in without context. Howard Vernon's butler is the always interesting Vladimir Medar from one of my favorite Euro-horrors, Harald Reinl's Die Schlangengrube und das Pendel aka Torture Chamber of Dr. Sadism and most of the Karl May Winnetou/Old Shatterhand epics. The location, a real castle as in many Euro flicks, is wasted. The two leads, husband and wife Michael Lemoine and Janine Reynaud are always professional in their films but the script flops badly and leaves them adrift. Reynaud's upper-class, haughty, immobile look (she was a model also) adds some beauty and style to this junk as she did to her sleazy Franco films. I always admired her looks and on-screen personality.

A movie with fair acting abilities and yet keeps your attention. This film was labeled 'Castle of the Creeping Flesh' in some countries. While watching the film, one can expect to see things such as zombies but instead this has a new twist on horror. It contains mystery as well as a vengeful statement. With a taste of Frankenstein, this film also shows characters who show little or no change of attitudes at all. Considering this film was made in the mid to late 1960's, the special effects is weak. The storyline has an excellent twist. Things that can keep you interested is the rape scenes and the characters that have been hurt in the movie. When you think you see a flaw in the movie, be careful, it could have been intentional. For example, a young and beautiful lady gets a cut across the forehead from hitting a tree branch while riding a horse. Hours later, the cut is completely gone and the lady is back to being full of life and still beautiful as ever. Paying attention to details like this will help understand the movie as this was intentional and if you want to know how it happened, all I can say is watch the movie.

BORING flick has no redeeming factors what so ever awful acting lousy dialogue and this is just terrible i found it under the title at my local video store castle of the creeping flesh it had cool box cover art and it sounded interesting but boy was i wrong avoid * out of 5
