Horror LOKIS, THE MANUSCRIPT OF PROFESSOR WITTEMBACH (ANAMORPHIC WIDESCREEN EDITION)

(1970, WIDESCREEN EDITION) Józef Duriasz, Edmund Fetting, Gustaw Lutkiewicz, Zofia Mrozowska, Malgorzata Braunek, Hanna Stankówna.  A pastor/professor comes to a remote estate in the forlorn mountains of 19^th Century Lithuania to study books on folklore and other ancient tomes.  The estate is owned by a mysterious young duke and his insane mother, the latter of whom was attacked by a wild bear nine months before the duke was born.  There are whispered rumors in the village about the duke’s true bloodline.  There are also other peculiar personages about, including a cynical doctor, a beautiful duchess, and a gnarled old witch.  Yet it becomes increasingly clear that there is something profoundly wrong with the young duke.  What terrible secret is he hiding?  This is a slow-moving gothic chiller, but extremely effective and atmospheric as it winds its way toward a horrific climax.  English subs.  Great color, 35mm.
