Ava-Grace Willis Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

Calum Hutton It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

Rexanne It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

GL84 About to close for good, a group of theater performers invited out to an appreciative Count's castle find themselves subjected to a family curse about women being beheaded which comes to pass once again when the guests suddenly start turning up dead.This here was quite a decent if somewhat bland semi-slasher effort. One of the few things this one does get right is the absolutely stellar Gothic imagery, as there's almost more at play here in that regard than there is in terms of it being a slasher. Taking place during the turn of the century and at a glorious, splendid castle it fits more at home with the tales of the Corman/Price/Poe films of the decade previous where it's Gothic majesty in the setting and locations gives off that same style and feel quite readily here. Once it brings up the cursed plot line and the family history involving the adulterous relatives repeating themselves it causes this one to really sell that kind of feel and tone for that movement quite easily. Once it turns into a somewhat slasher effort later on, the setting of this giant castle makes for some pretty suspenseful times that play far more in line with the supernatural than an actual murder mystery which takes on that kind of classic feel with the way the body count is found throughout here in the later stages strewn throughout the castle in bloody manners strewn in here at quite regular intervals during the final half. Alongside this is a rather healthy dose of nudity from the girls where it shows them undressing and indulging in some fondling for each other which manages to add a different feel to the Gothic atmosphere by going to far sleazier levels than those ever could've done. Still, even with all this fun stuff there's some problems. One of the main issues here is the fact that there's just not a whole lot of action transpiring here for long sections of the film's running time. The first murder doesn't occur until nearly an hour into it, so the rest of the time is spent with it really just dragging out with the group being recruited towards going to the castle and then the staff's reaction towards them which not only gets dragged out but isn't all that original and creative which really strikes this down somewhat more. There's even more here lowering this one when it comes to the final rampage where it keeps most of the death's off-screen and then stumbling upon the bodies later, which carries on for nearly all the remaining kills here and does bring this one down somewhat, though it's mostly the other issue that stops this one.Rated Unrated/R: Violence, Nudity and Language.

jcplanells3 This movie is not only a very bad movie, with awful actors --or presumed actors--, a bored direction and a story unattractive, it also copies exactly an scene from the excellent "giallio" "Torso", directed by Sergio Martino in 1973 (two years before), one of the most celebrated psycho-thrillers of Italian cinema and a cult-movie around the world. In "La Sanguinusa conduce la danza", the director replays the bed scene between the black girl and the white girl, with an peeping-tom watching from a window of the bedroom. Naturally, the scene in Rizzo's movie is ridiculous and inferior to the softness and charming in Martino's film. To put another black girl, another white girl and another peeping-tom replaying the scene is simply the most appropriate way of prove that Rizzo's movie has no ideas, no originality, no taste, and nothing at all. I think that such things are an offense to spectator.

Red-Barracuda The Bloodsucker Leads the Dance - what a laughable title, it's so utterly misleading. It's not surprising that the film-makers try and mislead us though because this is one terrible movie.The story basically involves a murder mystery in a castle on a remote island.Very little happens in this film. And when something does wake the viewer from his stupor, it invariably is unintentional comedy in the form of atrocious dialogue delivered by a hopeless group of voice-artists. These guys are so bad they make the actors they deliver voices for appear like a group of remedial-level morons. It really is hard to determine how bad the acting is when you have dubbing this abysmal. But the voice-artists cannot be blamed for the script. It's a travesty. Unintentionally funny at best, pathetic at worst. The story in general is, to say the least, uneven. The women characters are particularly idiotic; the men are either creepy or tedious.The whole enterprise smacks of pure exploitation of the audience. It doesn't remotely deliver what it promises and even when the murders (finally) start happening, they all occur off screen. All we get is a few half-hearted severed head shots.A few people have said that this movie is a giallo. I cannot agree less with this opinion. Anyone who enjoys Italian thrillers should give this movie a wide berth as there is nothing remotely thrilling about it. It's basically a soft-core porn film with a horror angle. But it's not very erotic either.I can't recommend this to anyone.

pumaye Strange, mediocre movie, a late specimen of the Italian gothic horrors that were very popular in the Sixties and early Seventies. More an excuse for showing what its ancestors couldn't (i.e., lot of naked female bodies, several love scenes, even a couple of lesbian ones)that a real horror, this convoluted tale revolving around a charming count and an old curse that stalks the women in his castle is very slow for more than a half of its total and in the end fails to deliver any chills and even the final explanation is boring and silly. This is very unfortunate as the male lead is Giacomo Rossi Stuart, that was very active during the Sixties in several interesting Gothic samples (like Operazione Paura by Mario Bava, the better of the Italian directors of this genre).
