The film is set at the seaside and there is wind. Between the lines of dialogue the wind, over the dialogue the wind, half-obscuring the dialogue the wind; in the silence--just kidding, there is no silence; there is only wind. On the shore, in the parlor, in the catacombs, in the bedrooms, wind. I was literally 45 minutes in before I got to a scene where I could not hear the wind. This film is the cinematic equivalent of tinnitus and it annoyed the everliving hell out of me.

I've watched it once; I doubt very much that I will ever watch it again.

I wonder if anyone approached Bava about maybe toning it down, reeling it back; I wonder if later he thought that maybe he should have (yes: he should have).
