Opinions:
“As soon as the primary physique is found, the dialogue turns into extra vacuous, the characters change into dumber and the pacing slows to a crawl. When the characters aren’t moronically wandering round simply asking to be killed, they’re sitting across the fort’s principal room trying bored out of their minds. I might relate.” ★★ The Bloody Pit of Horror
“Total, your entire solid does a fantastic job and all of the Sixties babes look great – even Catherine the maid sexes it up at one level when she lets her hair out and slips out of her maid’s uniform. Merely put, Demise on the Fourposter is a superlative early giallo that gives horny, campy enjoyable from starting to finish.” Euro Fever
” ….your primary “outdated darkish home” thriller, with suspicious servants, seances, murders, secret passages, and many others. In regards to the greatest factor new that it provides to the recipe is an obsession with intercourse; a part of the plot revolves round a being pregnant, and far of the footage within the film consists of girls stripping all the way down to their underwear.” Improbable Film Musings and Ramblings
“With out revealing an excessive amount of, Serena’s head video games give option to a séance; it really works, and never everybody lives to see the sunshine. Viewers’ unfamiliarity with the no-star solid works to the distinct benefit of this tough gem, in that conceivably, anybody might make an early exit.” Flick Assault
” …a few of the standard ‘outdated darkish home’ cliches, such because the sinister groundskeeper/servant, the dodgy fuses and a transferring bookcase that hides a secret passage. Regardless of understanding there’s a killer on the unfastened, individuals persist in going off on their very own and creeping about within the dusty passageways. Nonetheless, there’s an amusing sequence when Vittoria Prada gropes round on the ground for her misplaced glasses, foreshadowing the actions of Velma from many a ‘Scooby Doo’ cartoon!” Mark David Welsh
“I discovered myself more and more pissed off with the movie. Lengthy stretches of underdeveloped, largely forgettable characters speaking isn’t my concept of a superb time. Had the movie pared down its roster of characters and pushed the thriller angle up within the working time, I in all probability would have loved the time I spent watching Demise on the Fourposter. Sadly, there was far an excessive amount of of far too little for me to remain .” You Have Died of Dysentery
