1960 - MILL OF THE STONE WOMEN, Italian Giallo Film.

 For a horror film and especially an Italian horror film Mill of the Stone Women looks very nice with colorful sets and very bright and pretty photography.   The cast has a lot of good looking women and men although the bad guy is fairly easy to spot since he gives off that mad scientist vibe fairly early in the film.

The film owes a lot and I mean a lot of its plot to the old Warner Brother's film, Mystery of the Wax Museum.  In that film people are disappearing but eventually seem to  turn up in a wax museum posed as historical figures.  Frankly I wished I had been watching that film instead of this one.

 

This film is set in a windmill that has been converted into a museum and surprise surprise missing women possibly seem to be turning up as models in this museum.


The film was directed by Giorgo Ferroni who made a lot of spaghetti and gladiator movies for most of his career.

Written by Remigio Del Grosso, Ugo Liberatore, Giorgio Stegani and Giorgio Ferroni, that's a lot of writers for a fairly ordinary horror film.  The running time is 96 minutes.
