"[A] master class in lighting and movement..." - Fernando Croce, CinePassion
A controversial sado-masochistic film starring Christopher Lee that was mutilated in almost every country when it was initially released, THE WHIP AND THE FLESH is present here in the uncut European widescreen version! Nevenka's ex-lover (who is her husband's brother) Kurt has come back to claim her and he does so by engaging in a forbidden rendezvous. The next day, Kurt is found dead. But his ghost returns to haunt all those who live in the mansion and to continue his love affair with Nevenka.

This was a good movie and was viewed without any interference or buffeting.....both parts were complete
Very campy and semi-psychedelic like most Italian Horror films from this time period. There is a lot to enjoy - mostly the out-of-date and stylish campy bits, but still not one of Bava's best.
I would certainly not consider this a sexploitation nor exploitation film. Although it does contain a few scenes of erotic campiness not nearly enough to be given this genre description.
