Brentwood Media Version
My copy of this flick is from an outstanding 10 DVD (double-sided)Brentwood compilation called "Nightmares From the Crypt" which has other cult classics like "Don't Look In the Basement", "Messiah Of Evil", "Circus Of Fear", "Horror Hotel", "Jack the Ripper" and the like. This version is 102 minutes & not rated. I really liked this movie and is one of the most played of this compilation. <

>Klaus Kinski gives his usual manic, if brief, performance and is quite entertaining (as he usually is). The filming of the castle is very dark & creepy, which is perfect for a late-nite viewing. While this is not a gorefest, it is an above-par haunted house story with some kinky subplots interspersed throughout. The ending sequence where Alan Foster is escaping the vampires who inhabit the castle into the morning light in slow-motion is quite freaky & hilarious. Me & my buddies got a huge kick out of this one late late night when we watched a huge portion of this compilation enjoying our favorite tobacco. In the end, Kinski shows up & eerily looks to the sky muttering "no one will believe this". <

>I highly recommend this film for fans of this sub-genre (late 60's/early 70's horror). I also strongly recommend the Brentwood 10 DVD compilation "Nightmares From the Crypt" (see my review on this), because it is the BIGGEST BANG for the buck & highly entertaining!!

truly fantastic film !!!
I bought Web Of The Spider not really knowing anything of this film ... was seeking a horror film fest 2 years ago for Halowwen night and I said what the hey and bought it . I am so glad I chose this film because it is very eerie , bone chilling , spooky and awesomely sexy !!! The whole film in itself give you a feeling like you are there in London with Alan the main character and everything he goes through ... it seems like you go through . I mean if you like films that give you a spooky feeling and are not pure gore , then Web Of The Spider is your kind of film . Awesome script , fantastic camera work and the actors are very sexy !!!! This is a 5 star film in my book . Happy Hauntings !!! <

Low Budget European Import.
The only thing more amusing than a cheap domestic horror flick is an imported variety. The unwary viewer must accept Klaus Kinski (of all people) as Edgar Allan Poe. Then we have clean-shaven Tony Franciosa, wearing togs from the 1970s, as the 1840s guy who accepts the inevitable challenge to spend the night in the haunted castle. You get the idea. The film is weird rather than scary. Ghosts abound, but they don't jump out and say, "Boo!" The haunting wraiths have other things in mind. The picture begins to resemble a gothic romance, in places. At least it tries to be different. On the plus side, we can award points for effective atmosphere. The film might be considered as camp entertainment, but we aren't sure that the Italian filmmaker had purposeful satire in mind. The entertainment is strictly for die-hard fans of schlock horror flicks. (This reviewer is a master of this type of foolishness). In that context, it is worth collecting. Others beware. ;-)
