Set in 1902 in an Irish island castle, actually the same Italian castle masquerading as an English one in 1967's Assassino Senza Volto, Giacomo Rossi Stuart stars as Count Marnak, who invites a traveling theater troupe to stay at the castle as his guests. Marnak soon becomes obsessed with the troupe's beautiful star, Evelyn (Patrizia De Rossi), who looks enough like his deceased wife to be her identical twin, and the two begin a passionate affair. There are several of those affairs going around for the viewer's voyeuristic benefit, including the standard faux-lesbian scene, but they are soon brought to a halt as many of the participants' heads get cut off by an unseen killer. Rumors of vampirism and unintentionally humorous attempts at Gothic atmosphere are quickly forgotten in favor of the usual red herrings and butchery, leading to the unmasking of a deranged psychopath. ~ Robert Firsching, Rovi

In this campy jungle adventure, courageous, stiff-upper-lipped Captain Fox and his entourage head for the Congo's darkest heart to search for a missing woman. Along the way they face many of the usual jungle dangers, but not a one prepares them for the fearsome, mythical ape-man Karzan (think Tarzan with a "K"). ~ Sandra Brennan, Rovi

In this Italian and Spanish horror thriller, the doctor (Espartaco Santoni) seems to have everything. He has a yacht and a castle and the money and time to travel to as many vacation resorts as he desires. Not only that, but he has hypnotic psychic powers and can lure any woman he likes back to his home. Perhaps this all bores him because he has taken to killing lovely young women and putting them in the hidden niches in his castle. On the side, he dabbles in Satanism. One young woman, who is the sister of one of his previous victims, appeals to him so much that he makes some mistakes. ~ Clarke Fountain, Rovi

Pierrot le fou (1965) is Jean-Luc Godard's sixth film staring Anna Karina, his first wife. It is the story of Ferdinand (Jean-Paul Belmondo) and Marianne (Karina). They meet when Ferdinand's wife hires Marianne as a baby-sitter. As he drives Marianne home, Ferdinand decides to run away with her. The couple get caught up in a mysterious gun-running scheme involving Marianne's brother (Dirk Sanders). With Pierrot le fou Godard returns to the story of A bout de souffle (Breathless): the tale of a couple on the run. But in the six years between the two films Godard developed a more complex and often difficult style. Pierrot le fou incorporates musical numbers, references to the history of cinema and painting, and quotations from literature. The film features Godard's most extended use of color to that point, as the shots are filled with blocks of bright primary colors. Pierrot le fou is a catalogue of cinematic inventions and of gestures made by couples in love. ~ Louis Schwartz, Rovi
