Horror (The Blancheville Monster, 1963)

"Emilie will recover soon if we help her, you'll see."

"Not in this gloomy castle, never. Emilie needs to feel young, that's her illness. But here everything is old: the furniture, the walls, the people. Everywhere, even in the air that you breathe, there's an omen of death."

Gothic cinema gets its moment to shine in Gothic Fantastico. "The Blancheville Monster" (1963), a haunting Gothic horror that continues to captivate audiences with its eerie atmosphere and timeless themes. Directed by Alberto De Martino, this Italian-Spanish co-production delves into the depths of family curses, ancient legends, and the terrors that lurk within the walls of an old mansion. One of the most notable aspects of the film is its Gothic atmosphere. From the moment the audience enters the Blancheville mansion, they are transported into a world of dark corridors, creaking doors, and hidden secrets. The cinematography, with its expert use of shadows and lighting, adds to the sense of foreboding and unease. Each frame is meticulously crafted to create a visual experience that immerses viewers in the haunted world of the Blancheville family. What is the Blancheville Monster?A little bit of Gothic HistoryFinding its wayThe Blancheville Monster helps set up the back half of Gothic FantasticoThe Blancheville Monster is now available What is the Blancheville Monster? The film's narrative is built upon the foundation of family curses and ancient legends. This theme resonates throughout the story, as Emilie De Blancheville, portrayed by Ombretta Colli, grapples with the fear of becoming the sacrificial victim of her family's curse. This exploration of inherited trauma and the psychological toll it takes on the characters adds depth and complexity to the plot. In addition to its atmospheric qualities, "The Blancheville Monster" features a haunting score by Carlo Franci. The music serves as another layer of immersion, heightening the tension and suspense. It perfectly complements the visuals, enhancing the overall viewing experience and contributing to the film's enduring impact. A little bit of Gothic History "The Blancheville Monster" emerged during the golden era of Italian horror cinema, a time when filmmakers were experimenting with Gothic aesthetics and macabre storytelling. The film was released in 1963, a year that witnessed a surge in horror movies worldwide. This period saw the rise of directors such as Mario Bava and Dario Argento, who would later become legends in the genre. Director Alberto De Martino, known for his prolific career in various genres, helmed this atmospheric chiller. While De Martino himself described the film as "a little film of no importance," its lasting impact suggests otherwise. The production benefitted from a talented cast, including Gérard Tichy, Leo Anchóriz, and Ombretta Colli, who brought their characters to life with conviction. Finding its way "The Blancheville Monster" may not have achieved the same level of recognition as some of its contemporaries, but its influence is undeniable. The film contributed to the evolution of Italian horror cinema, paving the way for future filmmakers to explore Gothic themes and atmospheric storytelling. Furthermore, "The Blancheville Monster" serves as a testament to the enduring appeal of Gothic horror. Its ability to create a sense of unease and suspense has resonated with audiences over the years. The film's themes of family curses and psychological torment continue to be explored in contemporary horror, showcasing its lasting relevance. The Blancheville Monster helps set up the back half of Gothic Fantastico The Blancheville Monster comes with a brand-new line-up of special features. You get a video essay, interviews, the American opening and a new commentary. I love the line-up of features and what we get here. However, I realized something when hopping back and forth between the American and Italian versions. I can't spot any major differences outside of the language. I'm used to American Drive-In hounds really cutting these movies up in that period and making these bizarre new narratives. I would talk more about the A/V Quality, but expect all of the transfers to look the same. All were sourced from the same location for the release and it all looks pretty impeccable. I'd recommend giving it a shot. The Blancheville Monster is now available

«Mi hanno chiamato pazzo; ma nessuno ancora ha potuto stabilire se la pazzia sia o non sia la più elevata forma d'intelligenza, se la maggior parte di ciò che è glorioso, se tutto ciò che è profondo non derivi da una malattia del pensiero, da umori esaltati della mente a spese dell'intelletto generale.»

(da Eleonora, 1841)

Edgar Allan Poe (Boston, 19 gennaio 1809 – Baltimora, 7 ottobre 1849) è stato uno scrittore, poeta, critico letterario, giornalista, editore e saggista statunitense.

Considerato uno dei più grandi e influenti scrittori statunitensi della storia, Poe è stato l'iniziatore del racconto poliziesco, della letteratura dell'orrore e del giallo psicologico.

Poe è considerato il primo scrittore alienato d'America, avendo dovuto lottare per buona parte della vita con problemi finanziari, l'abuso di alcolici e sostanze stupefacenti e con l'incomprensione del pubblico e della critica dell'epoca.

🇬🇧 "They called me crazy; but no one has yet been able to establish whether madness is or is not the highest form of intelligence, if most of what is glorious, if all that is profound does not derive from a sickness of thought, from exalted moods of the mind at the expense of the general intellect. "

(From Eleonora" short story 1842)

🇬🇧 Edgar Allan Poe (born Edgar Poe; January 19, 1809 – October 7, 1849) was an American writer, editor, and literary critic.

Poe is best known for his poetry and short stories, particularly his tales of mystery and the macabre. He is widely regarded as a central figure of Romanticism in the United States and of American literature as a whole, and he was one of the country's earliest practitioners of the short story. He is generally considered the inventor of the detective fiction genre and is further credited with contributing to the emerging genre of science fiction.

He was the first well-known American writer to earn a living through writing alone, resulting in a financially difficult life and career.
