The Hanging Woman is one of those obscure gems that treads the line between horror and supernatural oddity. Right from the start, it sets a brooding atmosphere with its eerie Scottish village backdrop. Serge Chekov's encounter with his late uncle's estate takes a turn when family tensions rise, and before you know it, zombies add an unexpected layer to the unfolding chaos. The pacing is a bit uneven, creating a strange juxtaposition of suspense and dark humor. Practical effects are a highlight, bringing a gritty realism to the undead. The performances, though not always polished, capture the unsettling essence of jealousy and greed, making it a distinctive piece in the Italian horror landscape of the 70s.
The Hanging Woman has garnered a bit of a cult following among collectors, especially in its Italian horror sub-genre. It has seen limited releases on various formats, but the original pressings remain quite scarce. Many collectors appreciate its offbeat narrative and practical effects, making it a fascinating piece for those who delve into lesser-known titles from this period.
