Critiques:
“As soon as the primary physique is found, the dialogue turns into extra vacuous, the characters develop 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 foremost room trying bored out of their minds. I may relate.” ★★ The Bloody Pit of Horror
“General, the complete solid does an ideal 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, Loss of life 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” ….your primary “outdated darkish home” thriller, with suspicious servants, seances, murders, secret passages, and many others. Concerning the largest 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 right down to their underwear.” Unbelievable Film Musings and Ramblings
“With out revealing an excessive amount of, Serena’s head video games give method 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 may make an early exit.” Flick Assault
” …a number of the common ‘outdated darkish home’ cliches, such because the sinister groundskeeper/servant, the dodgy fuses and a shifting bookcase that hides a secret passage. Regardless of realizing there’s a killer on the free, individuals persist in going off on their very own and creeping about within the dusty passageways. Nevertheless, 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 annoyed with the movie. Lengthy stretches of underdeveloped, largely forgettable characters speaking shouldn’t be my thought of a great time. Had the movie pared down its roster of characters and pushed the thriller angle up within the working time, I most likely would have loved the time I spent watching Loss of life on the Fourposter. Sadly, there was far an excessive amount of of far too little for me to remain .” You Have Died of Dysentery
