From a reviewer at IMDb.com:
"Nightmare Castle" aka "The Faceless Monster"
aka "Night of the Doomed" aka "Lovers Beyond
the Grave" - whatever name you call the film
it is a good Gothic horror Italian film.
The copy of the film I have is dubbed in the
English language quite good. It was hard to
tell the film's language is in Italian so that
is a credit to film's dubbers.
The movie itself is quite fun and interesting
to watch. We have a large creepy house, ghosts,
a mad doctor, Jenny who is a woman seemingly
going mad, greed, lust, revenge & murder - all
are the makings for a good horror film.
I have to say this IS a ghost film but the
ghosts seem similar to zombies because they
can be touched and pushed so I guess they can
materialize and solidify their bodies into
flesh again. Quite wicked these ghosts are
towards those that have wronged them.
BTW, Barbra Steele is good in this as usual.
She play two roles with two very different
personalities quite well: Muriel Arrowsmith / Jenny
Arrowsmith.
This film is one of those popcorn-flicks to
watch on a "dark and stormy night". It's a
very good b-rated Gothic horror.
