Mario Bavas The Whip and the Body (1963) is a hallmark of Italian Gothic horror, steeped in shadows, sensuality, and supernatural dread. Starring Christopher Lee as a sadistic nobleman whose ghost returns to haunt his familys castle, the film merges classic Gothic tropes with erotic and sadomasochistic undertones, making it a defining entry in the Italian Gothic exploitation cycle. With its rich visuals and haunting atmosphere, it remains a cult classic in European horror history.

Seduction, sadism and sexual obsession The Whip and the Body is one of the greatest films of legendary director Mario Bava (Hatchet for the Honeymoon; Black Sunday).

The equally legendary Christopher Lee (everything from Dracula to The Lord of the Rings) plays Kurt Menliff. Hes the black sheep of his family, banished for his wicked, wicked ways. But now hes home, and keen to resume his sadomasochistic affair with his brothers wife Nevenka (Daliah Lavi). So keen, in fact, that not even his untimely death cannot put a stop to his violent lust...

A delirious journey into troubled souls, this is arguably the greatest film Bava ever made and now its looking better than ever, gorgeously restored from newly discovered film elements. 88 Films are proud to present Bavas masterpiece, finally resplendent in all its gothic splendour
