I can't imagine what Mario Bava must have been thinking with this film. Perhaps this film would have been if it was SUPPOSED to be bad, but I'm pretty sure this was intended as serious genre entertainment. I am an adoring fan of Bava, his work as an early horror pioneer, his brilliant photography and lighting...but the only thing that went through my mind while viewing this film was, "Oh boy, is it going to be over soon?".
Being a genre fan, I've learned long ago to be able to overlook occasional silliness and nonsensical plot threads, but I just couldn't handle this mess...I'm sorry Mario, I still love you!
