Even as her husband uncovers his Stella’s secret life, he can’t do much more than give her the freedom that she obviously needs, in the hope it’s all just a phase. Then one day she finds herself lying unconscious in a basement cell, with no idea how she arrived there. Days go by when an other woman is brought into her cell. Christine, a woman about the same age. In the following days they reveal their life stories to one other. Christine is convinced that the reason for their captivity lies in Stella’s lifestyle.

Spirits of Death (1972)

January 3, 2012 By Leave a Comment

Original title: Un bianco vestito per Mariale
Year: 1972
Runtime: 1 hour 23 minutes
Country: Italy
Language: Italian
Subtitles: English (.embedded)
Genre: Horror | Thriller

Director: Romano Scavolini

Cast:
Ida Galli … Mariale
Ivan Rassimov … Massimo
Luigi Pistilli … Paolo
Pilar Velázquez … Mercedes
Ezio Marano … Sebastiano
Giancarlo Bonuglia … Jo
Gianni Dei … Lover of Mariale’s mother
Bruno Boschetti
Franco Calogero … Mariale’s father
Gengher Gatti … Osvaldo, the butcher
Edilio Kim … Gustavo
Carla Mancini … Woman reading a book
Shawn Robinson … Semy

Plot/Synopsis:
The enigmatic wife of a moody Marquis invites a motley group of people to their sinister stronghold where a long ago crime is re-lived…
Here’s a strange and unsettling giallo that borrows much from the maestro of the macabre, Mario Bava. The film is set entirely on an eerie, isolated estate and, like 5 DOLLS FOR AN AUGUST MOON and BAY OF BLOOD, has an ambiguous plot centering around murder and mayhem which provides director/cinematographer Romano Scavolini with ample opportunity for a number of unusual set-pieces. A pre-credit sequence has a young girl watch as her father finds her mother with a lover (a nude Gianni Dei) and shoots them both before turning the gun on himself. The story shifts to the present with Mariele (the beautiful Evelyn Stewart) inviting a hedonistic, unpleasant assortment of friends (which include Ivan Rassimov and Pilar Velazquez) to her husband’s (Luigi Pistilli) crumbling castle for some fun and games …but she seems to have an ulterior motive. Is she being held prisoner by her husband and his manservant or is she locked up for her own good? For the festivities, Mariele dons the white dress her mother was murdered in and there’s some brief nudity, lesbianism, whipping, and bitch-slapping at a Felliniesque feast before the party guests get dispatched in rapid succession. These seemingly senseless killings are brief but brutal and the identity of the killer ultimately depends on which version of events the viewer chooses to believe. It’s an unusual and disturbing twist but only part of a “take no prisoners” nihilistic ending which has fate coming full circle. The striking use of color, a somber score by Fiorenzo Carpi & Bruno Nicolai, and a capable genre cast all help to create a decadent atmosphere that gives the movie a near-surreal aura. For example, at one point the cast grabs candelabra and goes down to explore the castle’s catacombs (just because they’re there) when a veritable windstorm kicks up out of nowhere and goes on for quite a while. This does absolutely nothing to advance the plot but it does make for an eerie tableau. In many ways, the whole film is like that.
