5 Tombe Per Un Medium (aka Terror Creatures From The Grave) (1965)

An attorney (Walter Brandi, credited as Brandt in the U.S. cut) is summoned by a scientist regarding his will but when he arrives, he is told by his widow (Barbara Steele) that her husband has been dead for a year. So who sent the letter requesting the lawyer? As a raging thunderstorm prevents him from leaving, he spends the night and learns that the villagers fear the household because the deceased dabbled in the occult. Directed by Domenico Massimo Pupillo (with an assist by Ralph Zucker for the U.S. version). The film states it's based on the writings of Edgar Allan Poe but perhaps inspired is closer to it. It's a decent Gothic horror tale with all the trimmings: huge mansion, stormy nights, spirits roaming, gory deaths etc. The atmospheric B&W cinematography is by Carlo Di Palma who would go on to work with Michelangelo Antonioni (RED DESERT) and Woody Allen (HANNAH AND HER SISTERS). With Mirella Maravidi (the U.S. cut credits her as Marilyn Mitchell), Alfredo Rizzo and Riccardo Garrone.
