The story takes place on a film set in Italian castle. It is about a nobleman becoming crazy when he believes his wife has been buried alive. That is a scheming between his wife and her doctor to get Price's money which leads to a tragedy.
Not bad, but I expected a lot more from Stuart Gordon.

Boring adaptation with no scares, no mood and no sex appeal (considering it's a form of sexual persecution)

Schlock of a very fine vintage.

The second in the popular series of Edgar Allan Poe adaptations made by the enterprising mini-studio American International Pictures, this Roger Corman picture is carpeted wall-to-wall with luxuriant gothic excess.
