 A rash of murders in a small German hamlet shortly after the arrival of a scientist sent there for his studies forces him to call upon his former professor to help clear his name, and together they find the cause to be of a legendary mythological figure reawakened in modern times. What did everyone think of this one? |

It gets a 4 from me. Highly enjoyable and entertaining Gothic affair, muddled with the needless romance angle that just goes nowhere and ends up in a cliched and predictable situation, but the monster is cool, the deaths are fun and the climax, back in their familiar Gothic castle is a lot of fun. But the romance, as well as a bit of a slow pace early on, lower it slightly.

Isn't a silly romance pretty much a part of the traditional gothic theme?

Possibly, but I don't really focus on that area. I prefer my Gothic films taking place in decrepit castles, fog-covered cemeteries and the like and the women walking around in the night in flimsy, bust-showcasing nightgowns. Focus on those areas and I'm pretty much entertained in such films, the other areas are pretty much inconsequential.
