Curiosidades
Francis Ford Coppola was assisting Roger Corman on the set of Rivales pero amigos (1963) in Ireland. Corman allowed Coppola to use the same set, crew, and actors Luana Anders, William Campbell, and Patrick Magee for this film if he could shoot around the shooting schedule of Corman's film.

Pifias
When Louise goes into the pond after stripping to bra and panties, her panties are tan or light brown, yet in the underwater sequence they are black.

Citas
Louise Haloran: It's nice to see her enjoying herself for a change. The mood around this place isn't good for her.
Richard Haloran: Well, she may be right.
Louise Haloran: Especially an American girl. You can tell she's been raised on promises.

Versiones alternativas
The original UK cinema version was cut by the BBFC to edit some of the gore from the murder scenes, including the decapitation, and various shots of dead bodies. The cuts were restored in all later UK prints.

Good Atmosphere

Most of the reviews here center on this being good solely because it was a beginning of sorts for Francis Ford Coppola, well maybe I exaggerate slightly, but the film really should be seen as an entity un to itself. It really is quite good. The story centers on a disfunctional family in a large Irish castle that had tragedy befall them six years ago when the youngest daughter died by drowning, Since then the father has died and the mother has become obsessed with the death of her only daughter Kathleen, and she has her sons and herself attend a mock funeral every year as a kind of memorial. Thrown into the picture are a fortune-hunting daughter-in-law and a strange, cryptic doctor(wonderfully played by the very underrated Patrick Magee). The film has some great scenes and is very high on atmosphere. Despite being made on a shoestring budget(although actually filmed in Ireland and around a real Irish castle), the film transcends its limited resources and becomes a series of atmospheric shocks. The death scenes are well-directed, particularly the two involving Luana Anders. The score by Corman regular Ronald Stein is also first-rate. A great film to watch late at night.
