Tubi Thursday: Castle of Bloody Lust/Castle of the Creeping Flesh (1968)

 I've spoken before about how the most salacious Titles can lead to the most disappointing of Films.

Is this one of them?

Let's find out...

A group of rich folks are hanging out, drinking and just generally being unpleasant.

A pair of them decide to leave the party (and the woman's fiancée- who is chasing other women TBF) and ride off on horseback.

Sure- why not?!?

They go with some others and drink at, well, a different place.

One of them wanders off abruptly and the group splits up.

They all end up at a Castle which the Host (the guy above) said not to go to.
They just do it anyhow.

What is all of this have to do with the random shots we're getting off people seemingly doing surgery for hours on end?

Does it just add gore to the Film?

Yes.

They are greeted by German Nick Offerman (the Butler/whatever) and the Duke (Howard Vernon).

He's all sorts of weird, especially when their blond friend shows up.
He thinks he looks like his dead Daughter.

First on the tour, a display (with sounds?) of 3 guys abusing this lady.  Fun?

This one just kind of muddles on and on.

At one point, the guy below is attacked by a (man in a) bear (costume).

Another one of the group wanders around the Basement for a ludicrous amount of time.

It all ends with Vernon bringing his Daughter back (apparently) and then accidentally killing her again (and then the guy).

Cool.

Also what?  How?  Why? When?

Is this...is this a Parody?  Satire?

The Film is just all kinds of weird and I kind of wonder how much of this was done in post-Production for the most recent release.

The Film has a new(ish) release with digital credits.  Did they add in the cheesy Soap Opera music?
Maybe...but maybe not.

I like Gothic Films.  I like 'dreamlike' Films.

This kind of gives them both a bad name.

It is just confusing, meandering and full of accidentally silly bits.

If you're here because of the salacious Title, there is very random nudity, but not much blood.

It is just so beguiling in all of the wrong ways and boring in other ways that it almost makes you yearn for death.  Oh, there he is!

A Film that I think really meant something to at least one of the THREE Writers (including Jesus Franco).  Whatever that was, however, was lost somewhere in the mail.
