Starring everyone’s favourite classic horror star Christopher Lee, The Torture Chamber of Dr. Sadism AKA Blood Demon presents us with a grisly tale of death and horror in a bizarrely original take on the vampire myth. After being executed for the murder of twelve women, Count Regula (Lee) returns from the grave to wreak his terrible revenge on society in this full-on, late-60s West German shocker. Inspired by Edgar Allen Poe’s The Pit and the Pendulum it combines torture, sensationalism, and green-blooded man-servants in a weirdly affecting grand guignol-style presentation, dripping with vibrant colour and gothic atmosphere. The Torture Chamber of Dr. Sadism will appeal to fans of Hammer horror and Roger Corman’s Poe cycle and is a must for cult film collectors everywhere.
