Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- One for fantasy readers and people who like to watch through their fingers. Its magic has rules, and the story plays by them. A good follow-up to The Witches or The Wizard of Oz.
- The mood
- Scary.
- The pace
- Builds dread steadily, at 1 hr 31 min.
- What might put you off
- It's in Italian, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Made in 1962: an older pace and style.
- Skip it if you like your stories firmly grounded in the real world.
Maciste travels to Hell to find a witch and make her undo a curse she put on the surface world.
