The Whip and the Body (1963)

 

Overly Melodramatic Kinky Film

I wasn't put off by the kinky whipping before sex but I was totally put off my the overly melodramatic acting by most - especially from Daliah Lavi. Christopher Lee is great as always. The music is overly melodramatic as well.

This is a gothic horror piece so the atmosphere is nice but the film quality is too dark and subdue to see the eye catching colors truly pop out.

I found the story rather a bore - which is strange because the idea behind it sounds appealing.

Over all, I did not enjoy the movie. I'm glad to have finally watched this one for Christopher Lee! He's the only reason to watch.

4/10
