Models and photogs go to an 'abandoned' castle to take pictures for a bunch of book covers and find a man living there. He turns out to be the reincarnation of the Crimson Executioner...and an insane lunatic.
OK, it's hardly original, but it's still great.
The torture devices were imaginative even if the low budget betrayed the execution. (harhar)
Mickey Hargitay was never the best actor, but he was born for this role. And the ladies played the whole brain dead bimbo routine to perfection. (At least I hope they were playing.)
And I even liked the music. Creepy atmospheric stuff. I'm still trying to find a soundtrack. Really.
The last scene was a corker. Decent camera work too. See the DVD if you can, it's COMPLETELY uncut. It also has semi-related scenes from Mondo Cane II as an extra.
