This just wasn't my type of movie. It still managed to be entertaining, had some great scenes, and a good mystery.

I don't really know what happened, but boy was it beautifully photographed and boy were the ladies smoking hot

MCT:August 20, 2007I wouldn't really recommend this to the average horror fan as the film is more of a period drama/romance than a horror film but I loved it all the same. Slow moving but, surprisingly well acted, amazing cinematography, probably the best looking full length Bava film. Pretty shocking for the time. Not Bavas most enjoyable film but its so incredibly made that it'd be a crime to give it less than 5/5. Pretty much every shot after the 20 minute mark is a masterpiece.
Definitely Bavas gothic masterpiece.
For some reason I could see Tim Burton remaking this and placing Johnny Depp in Christopher Lees place. It would turn all emo kids in to S&M maniacs. -

Very uneven but the artistic quality, Christopher Lee's performance, and the effective direction all made it worth it for me.

MCT:May 22, 2007If Roger Corman hired Mario Bava to do a ghost story this is what you'd end up with. It's creepy, beautiful and scary--namely the scene with Christopher Lee enters Daliah Lavi's bedroom. (The green hand coming out of the darkness alone...) If you're looking to get into Bava I wouldn't start with Whip and the Body, but I definitely wouldn't miss it either.

MCT:September 13, 2006Gorgeous, moody and chilling, this is one you can't miss. Too bad Christopher Lee's voice is nowhere to be found on either the English or French tracks.
