Watch Lady Morgan's Vengeance For Free

The first must-see film of the year.

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

In the humble opinion of yours truly, the absolute greatest and most magical subgenre in horror is Italian Gothic. There exists nothing that can equal the sinister atmosphere and macabre set-pieces of these films! The absolute highlights of this wondrous subgenre come from the hands of genuine Italian horror maestros, like Mario Bava ("Black Sunday", "Kill Baby Kill"), Antonio Margheriti ("The Virgin of Nuremberg", "Castle of Blood") and Riccardo Freda ("The Horrible Secret of Dr. Hitchcock", "I Vampire"), and have been released on DVD and Blu-Ray in various fancy and widely available editions. But thanks to the wonders of digital restoration techniques, several obscure and long-considered-lost movies are now coming to the surface again as well! They might not be as superior and overwhelming as the aforementioned titles, but they're definitely must-sees for the fans of the genre. "The Vengeance of Lady Morgan" is a movie I immediately wanted to see as soon as I discovered it existence. The plot sounds like vintage Gothic material, the film poster alone already promises ominous castles and ghostly apparitions and the cast features a couple of familiar and reliable names like Gordon Mitchell, Paul Muller and Erica Blanc. Susan, the lovely young heiress of the wealthy Blackhouse caste, refuses to marry her father's friend - Harold Morgan - because she's madly in love with a French artist named Pierre. But then Pierre mysteriously vanishes at sea, the heart-broken Susan nevertheless agrees to the marriage and moves into the Morgan castle. It soon becomes clear, however, that Harold Morgan is only after the Blackhouse family fortune, and together with his household personnel Lillian (with whom he has a relationship) and Roger, he attempts to drive Susan to insanity. The poor girl eventually commits suicide by herself from the rooftop, but she returns as a vengeful ghost to haunt her assailants. "The Vengeance of Lady Morgan" starts off a little slow and disentangled, but the ambiance is gloomy and uncanny throughout. Pretty much like the charming protagonist herself, the viewer is hypnotized by the Gothic tragedy of the tale and the soberness of the decors and set-pieces. What a contrast to "The Bloody Pit of Horror"; that other Gothic horror film that Massimo Pupillo directed in the same year 1965. That film was flamboyant and graphical, whereas "The Vengeance of Lady Morgan" is integer and suggestive. The second half, as soon as Lady Morgan finally starts extracting her vengeance, is very good and contains quite a few moments of authentic Gothic tension. The screenplay certainly doesn't always make sense (for example, how is it possible that her victims return from the dead as vampires?) and there are some severe gaps in continuity and narrative logic, but at least entertainment is delivered!

What a shame! Long lost 1965 film from Massimo Pupillo turns up with wonderful print with stunning b/w cinematography and is such a let down. Starts well enough as the tale is set up but then seems to take forever to inform us of the terrible tale that will eventually unfold. As it happens, very average though the main bulk of the film is, when we finally get to the actual 'vengeance' it is another drawn out sequence but more akin to US TV's 'Bewitched' with puffs of smoke, comedic falling about and appearances and disappearances. All the more shame because Barbara Nelli and Erica Blanc are stunning throughout (if a little over dressed) and there are some decent scenes that really should have been developed. As it is we have a film with great potential, just thrown away because nobody could decide if it was to be a Gothic horror, a tale of revenge, high drama or a comedy.

After losing her boyfriend Lady Morgan(Barbara Nelli)marries Sir Harold Morgan.Harold is having an affair with a sinister housekeeper Lilian(Erica Blanc)and they both plan to murder Lady Morgan.But after she dies Lady Morgan becomes a ghost keen on supernatural revenge...Pretty slow-moving Italian mood piece with remarkable acting and plenty of spooky atmosphere.The film is obviously inspired by Antonio Margheriti's "La Danza Macabra" from 1964.Erica Blanc is hypnotic as Lilian and there are some creepy processions of ghosts.Fans of Italian horror will certainly appreciate this extremely obscure film.8 out of 10.Where the hell is DVD?

I first became aware of this rare example of Gothic Horror all' Italiana last Summer, via a late-night program dealing with Italian genre cinema in which Erika Blanc and Rosalba Neri were the guests of honor; in fact, the poor-quality copy I acquired was culled from a probably 30-year old TV broadcast on some obscure Sicilian channel! To be honest, I found the film's initial half to be merely average – but it was considerably redeemed by the latter stages (depicting the titular event), which were quite splendid. Interestingly, the premise of a group of schemers after an innocent young girl's legacy would see ample service within the giallo genre a few years on; with this in mind, the trio of villains (Paul Muller, Erika Blanc and Gordon Mitchell) are more interesting than the romantic leads (though, in all fairness, the male protagonist spends much of the running-time in a foreign country as a bed-ridden amnesiac!). In fact, not too long after he is pushed overboard during an ocean voyage, the heroine accepts the seemingly devoted Muller's proposal of marriage but, later still, is hypnotized(!) by sinister housekeeper Blanc into throwing herself off the family castle's walls; meanwhile, brawny groom Mitchell has imprisoned the girl's uncle in the dungeons below. Soon, however, the tables are turned as not only does the hero recover but, when he finally turns up at the estate, is met by the ghost of his loved one who brings him up to date. The couple then proceed to disrupt the villains' premature triumph – this is done via numerous tricks (a few of them supernatural) intended to bewilder but also cause dissent within the group. One unexpected touch towards the end sees the lot (who all turn up dead eventually) being able to materialize upon drinking the blood of the living i.e. the heroine's poor chained uncle! Despite the general low-key nature of THE VENGEANCE OF LADY MORGAN, it proves a surprisingly satisfactory entry within a prolific yet most popular genre.
