An attorney (Walter Brandi) is summoned to a castle only to find that the person who had sent for the senior partner of the firm has in fact been dead for nearly a year. On hand are the dead man’s daughter (Mirella Maravidi), his second wife (Barbara Steele), and an odd servant (Luciano Pigozzi). Strange deaths soon follow the lawyer’s arrival: could the dead man, or long-dead plague victims, be reaching from beyond to wreak vengeance? A serviceable story, if not too different from the usual Gothic horror fare, helps keep the viewer’s interest, but this doesn’t rise to the heights. Original title: 5 tombe per un medium.

  Mildly recommended. Otto judiciously thinks this movie is OK, but not great.

Movie 393 for 2021.
