Profoundly dull. It definitely has its moments, but it doesn’t really have as much powerful imagery as the other Bava gothics, which is surprising. The close-ups are immaculate, and this have some late Bava touches but nothing too specia. It’s also one of his longest films for some reason at 98 minutes, far longer than it needs to be. And unrelated, but the main character looks so much like CW Flash it’s weird.
