Movie Macabre 113 - Baron Blood

Movie Macabre Season 01 - Episode 13 (113) Original Air Date: 27 December 1981 (Final Episode of 1981)

Baron Blood (1972) (Original Title: Gli orrori del castello di Norimberga / The Horrors of Nuremberg Castle) Directed by Mario Bava Screenplay by Vincent G. Fotre, Willibald Eser, and Mario Bava

Starring: Joseph Cotten Elke Sommer Massimo Girotti Antonio Cantafora Alan Collins Humi Raho Rada Rassimov

"A young man, visiting the castle of a murderous ancestor in Austria, accidentally brings his dead relative back to life - searching for new victims." (IMDb)

Episode 13 of Movie Macabre was the first to feature a movie by director Mario Bava, considered one of the masters of Italian horror. Because of this reputation, my expectations were not in line with reality. I found this movie overall pretty dry. While there were a few moments of good atmosphere, very little about this movie really stands out.

Peter is visiting Austria, the place of his family's history. He's particularly interested in a "ghoulish" ancestor, a baron who tortured and murdered people. Peter believes he has the key to resurrect this long-dead evil. In the exact type of stupidity that only seems to exist in horror movies, Peter keeps trying to resurrect the baron until he succeeds. And then he's upset the baron is going around killing people.

Baron Blood casually murders a few people, while Peter and his friends try to solve the mystery of who is killing the people.

The movie's not all bad. There is competent film making hidden in the somewhat bumbling plot. There are some good practical effects.

I try to find the good in every movie I watch. Even if something's not to my tastes, there are usually redeeming qualities. Even movies that are completely incompetent can be enjoyable. But it's difficult to get past a movie that's just boring. Unfortunately, I found this movie boring. The plot wasn't compelling, and often relied on the characters being almost stupid in order for anything to happen. The atmosphere was largely akin to daytime television, except for a couple of standout moments. Much the movie felt added just to get the film to feature length. This particular film was made to be half watched while waiting for Elvira to pop up and comment on it.

I would be interested in seeing more (and better) Mario Bava films. He has a reputation as a master of horror cinema. Surely he didn't earn it for things like Baron Blood?

I bet Elvira would have livened up a viewing of Baron Blood. Someone somewhere has to have all of the episodes of Movie Macabre. Right?

EL CHEAPO SUPERMAN TO THE RESCUE! | Supersonic Man (1979) | Movie Review

The first Superman movie was so HUGE back in 1978 that of course knock offs and rip offs of it were inevitable. That's when Spanich director Juan Piquer Simón stepped in and made his own version "Supersonic Man", an almost so bad it's good Espagnol superhero movie starring Antonio Cantafora, José Luis Ayestarán and the late, great Cameron Mitchell who wants to rule The Galaxy.

Is it worth 85 minutes of your precious time (you do only have one life to live) to watching it?

Gli orrori del castello di Norimberga - Mario Bava 1972

Baron Blood

The ads for Mario Bava’s BARON BLOOD (1972, Shudder, Tubi, Plex, YouTube) — aka THE HORRORS OF NUREMBERG CASTLE — indemnify theater owners against patrons suffering heart attacks, cerebral hemorrhages or fainting spells. They should have included narcolepsy. Apart from an atmospheric chase scene in the fog, the scenes with a medium (Rada Rassimov) and Joseph Cotten’s bravura performance (when he finally shows up), the film is more padded than frightening and seems one of the least personal of Bava’s career.

American student Antonio Cantafora shows up at his family’s ancestral estate with an ancient parchment containing a spell to return his sadistic ancestor to life. His courtship of pretty architecture student Elke Sommer includes reading the spell in the room where the late unlamented baron died, whereupon the wind blows the parchment bearing the reverse spell into a fire. So, a scarred corpse rises from the grave to kill people until it turns into Cotten, a wealthy old man who buys the castle and sets about getting the leads into his torture chamber so he can kill them before they send him back to hell.

It takes forever to get to that plot, and the torture scenes are decidedly weak tea. Instead, the script pads things out with Cantafora, who’s cute, flirting with the wooden Sommer, whose face is less expressive than the fright mask Cotten’s stand-in wears for the murder scenes. That’s not helped by Bava’s penchant for extremely tight closeups, which underline how little her face moves. Amazingly, nobody questions how the wheelchair-bound man keeps turning up in rooms that can only be reached by climbing stairs. The kills don’t have the zip of Bava’s best gialli, and he uses the zoom so much I wanted to break it over my knee and send him to bed without his supper. The film is also inflicted with an incongruous Euro-pop score that makes it sound like a sex comedy. American prints substituted a horror score by Les Baxter, but Shudder, in a misguided stab at cinematic integrity, uses the original.
