The Whip And The Body:
Irresistible and genuine Gothic scares, atmospheric camera work and breathtaking scenery; directed by perhaps the greatest horror genius of all time Mario Bava (Black Sunday). Starring Christopher Lee, who counts this among his favorite roles; it is essential viewing for his fans. Lee stars as Kurt Menliff, the cruel and fiendish son of an eminent family. His family’s hatred towards Kurt vile behavior is surpassed only by their fear of him; but his brother’s wife, lovely Nevenka (the sumptuous Daliah Lavi), has a secret desire for his wicked sexual preferences.
The films was heavily censored upon it’s initial release because of it’s scandalous and provocative content. Presented her in it’s original uncut glory, this ghost story, murder mystery, psychosexual character study is a highly unique, gorgeous movie that will stay with you for a long time.

The authorities do not look kindly on these villainous activities, and process to very graphically and painfully torture first Olimpio and then Beatrice herself.
