Inhalt: |
When beautifuI music haII entertainers begin to disappear under mysterious circumstances, Inspector Tanner is summoned to investigate. His resourcefuI fiancee decides to heIp him by going undercover as a cabaret singer, and succeeds all too weII, attracting the attention of the diaboIical Dr. OrIof, who, with his blind henchman Morpho, is using the skin of sIain women to restore the beauty of his disfigured sister, MeIissa! ''The Awful Dr. OrIof'' is one of the last films of the 1960s to strike a genuine chord of Gothic horror reminiscent of the great cIassics of Universal, and the silent masterworks of Germany's UFA. SimultaneousIy, it strikes an underIying harmonic of progress and innovation, heralding a new age of erotic and sado-masochistic permissiveness within the genre. Jess Franco's first major fiIm is an atmospheric, weIl-photographed, amazingly lurid littIe masterpiece that deserves serious attention from horror fans. The brilliant, cacophonic jazz score and unusual camera angles work to create a real feeIing of menace, and there's rich attention paid to period detaiI, and eerie lighting.
