Rating: - not jess's best but acceptable
This movie is not that bad ,but it doesn't live up to the great blind dead series that were from the previous decade. But to compare them is not a fair issue these zombies are monks who have been cursed by a witch.
They are not templars or related to that story. However this is clearly influenced by those movies. It has lots of nudity and it's not a sadistic as one would assume from the box. but it's a fun flick and the women are attractive and it's about time women in their late thirties and early forties featured as sex objects. One of the women was much younger than the three others. but that makes this movie refreshing in that these are what alot of real women around you look like. This was made in 1982 and I like the atmosphere that the movie presents it's spooky and strange. This movie is strange and the rotting face of the main character does look like a flour face! But I would say that it's worth getting used and adding to your zombie collection. There's alot worse out there that have nothing but gore and no plot. This did okay in it's creepiness and it could have been worse. but at least it has a plot , some jess franco movies have no plots and are all images and give me a plot anyday.
Rating:  - pretty good
first I want to say that if you're not a fan of franco or exploitation horror than you're not gonna like this at all ..I thought this was a weird atmospheric little flick..in a good way
love severin
Rating:  - Neither erotic nor horror
I am not a fan of Jess Franco and Mansion of the living dead is the second of his movies I have seen. The movie has some innovative ideas when combining horror and erotism but it does not deliver either. It was a disappointing experience for me.
Rating: - The Mansion that Jess Built.
I'll Keep this as short as possible. This is my third review for this film..having had a love-hate relationship with it. I do not know why this film disturbes me so much. I've seen way worse in violent context and sadistic ritual. But for some reason I keep watching it...and ya know. I do like it. It's a harsh film as far as the brutality of the subject matter. However it is not really gorey in any way. Very little blood at all in fact. It's just really dark and creepy in an ambient sort of way. Maybe it's just the place. There's something quite repulsive and completely offensive about this film, for whatever reasons.
I don't know what Jess Franco had in mind. But it works for me. It grew on me. Now I really like this film simply because it is one of the more interesting and barberic of the 20 or so Franco films I've seen. But this film should be given a word of warning. The film is brutal in the subject matter, and Jess didn't pull any punches. It is what it is.
What it is I can't say for sure other than nuts. It's not scary per say...rather torturous in a snuff kinda way. But I like it. It really creeps me out. Be warned though. If your just starting out in these euro-trash horror flicks...you might be angered by this one...or you'll just hate it and throw it out. I'm gonna buy one I think.
Rating:  - No don't...not even out of curiosity.
WHY OH WHY! as a fan of the 'proper' Blind Dead films and having the occasional dabble with that nutter Jess Franco i thought 'why not,how bad could this be?...' very in actual fact.
Gone are the skeletal Templers,gone are the spectral horses they ride on,gone is the ethereal doom laden bell and chant sountrack that accompanies them,gone are the sexy dolly birds...gone are...you get the idea.
In comes bored blokes in white dressing gowns with flour on their faces,no horses,no atmospheric music..oh and not very dolly dolly birds.
Its a shambles,sorry but just for completists...and fans of flourey faces.
