Movie Reviews

Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC) - 4/10 by Ken HankeTypical Hercules/Machiste nonsense not made better by the overrated Bava direction.
User Review - 10/10 by Colin BYeah it's the classic peplum from Italy and with an evil touch from Mr. Bava and Christopher Lee. It's A-movie for me. Never discuss it with Ugly...he should cut off your ...hahahahahahahahahaha!!!!
User Review - 8/10 by Aj VI found this movie a lot of fun, it's much better than other Hercules movies from the 60s, maybe because Bava directs, so it has a bit of a horror feeling to it? It does have a classical epic story, though, which is really cool. It was better than I expected.
User Review - 6/10 by Andrew KGreek Mythology Bava-Style--For that distinctive Bava touch!!
User Review - 6/10 by Kevin Bfun and strange sword and sandal adventure predating tv's hercules: the legendary journeys
User Review - 6/10 by Jeremy NBava made this on a shoestring budget, but it looks pretty impressive--most of the time anyway. Check out Christopher Lee long before he was Saruman.
User Review - 6/10 by Mark DFor a sword and sandle film.........this was pretty good. But it is Mario Bava so im being awfully biased. But the inventive lighting techniques and OTT acting and script offer nothing but a pleasurable experience. On a downer note, the dubbing is abysmul...even for an 1961 Italian release. But still good stuff.
User Review - 6/10 by Steve MWhen Hercules (Park) and his best friend Thesus (Ardisson) return home after another extended bout of adventuring, they find Hercules' betrothed, Deianira (Ruffo), in the throes of a strange illness and her kingdom governed by the sinister-looking regent, Lico (Lee). The pair embark on a new quest for the one magical artifact that will cure Deianira that will take them into the very depths of Hades, land of the dead. Successfully restoring Deinira isn't the end of Hercules troubles, as Lico isn't just sinister-looking... he's bent on obtaining immortality at the expense of the lives of Hercules and his lady-love! "Hercules in the Haunted World" is a gorgeous-looking, well-acted fantasy epic. Although the constraints of a low budget are almost painfully evident at times, and the Underworld and most of the sets have that very plastic, very 1960s feel to them, the great camerawork and creative lighting very much makes up for the shortcomings. There are times when the film takes on an almost dreamlike, fairytale quality that conveys the mood of the never-neverland of heroes and gods-walking-the-land is is so necessary for a film like this to succeed and which is so often absent in fantasy films. Story-wise, the use of Greek mythology, the traditional structure of Hercules' quest to save Deianira (as well the various components of that quest), and many truly suspenseful and chilling sequences--such as when Herculese is set upon by dozens of undead in the service of Lico-- combine to tell a tale that has the feel of the ancient adventure stories that inspired this movie. This is not to say the film is not without some serious flaws. Without fail, Bava draws out the lead-in to the horrific portions of the film to the point where the viewer becomes annoyed and bored when he should be pulled deeper into the film. The worst of these is the above-mentioned battle between Hercules and the undead. Bava SHOULD have established that they're emerging from their graves and then moved onto the excellently done fight sequence, but instead he establishes the dead emerging again and again and again and again. Meanwhile, Hercules stands there and looks back and forth, to and fro, like an idiot, instead of taking action. The movie grinds to a complete halt here instead of leaping forward into the action that follows. The movie also suffers from the standard affliction of fantasy movies made on shoestring budgets: It's got a Big Monster that's supposed to be scary looking, but is just goofy. Here's it's some sort of demon made of stone. To make matters worse, the scene in which it appears devolves into something that comes across as a parody of "Goldilocks and the Three Bears". There's underlying horror in the scene, but the stupid-looking creature (with its mouth hanging open as if it rode the short bus to its underground lair) and its blathering about short and long beds make the scene unintentionally comic. (I have to pause to wonder if kids might find the sequence scary; I'm not the audience for this film, so maybe I'm just not "getting it"?) There have been very few decent fantasy flicks made, but, eventhough it's flawed, "Hercules and the Haunted World" manages to heave itself above the pack. It's not a masterpiece, but it's also not a bad way to waste some time. Hercules in the Haunted World (aka "Hercules in the Center of the Earth" and "Hercules vs. the Vampires") Starring: Reg Park, George Ardisson, Christopher Lee, Leonora Ruffo, Franco Giacobini, and Ida Galli Director: Mario Bava
User Review - 6/10 by visitorQ SEarly effort from Mario Bava (with assistance from Franco Prosperi) is easily one of the strangest and best of the Italian sword and sandal epics. Despite its low-budget, Bava manages a surreal visual spectacle with some fun vintage special effects and his trademark atmospheric color photography. The plot is silly, but also fast-paced and full of memorably bizarre set pieces - a battle between Hercules and a gang of the undead is particularly impressive. Bava would go on to make much better films, but his visual style is firmly in place in this early effort.
User Review - 6/10 by Archibald THercules in the Haunted World or Hercules goes to Hell. Newly appointed King Lico is head of the throne of Ecalia. The king before him has died and that king's daughter, Deianira, can not rule since she's not mentally there. This is all because of Lico. He's planted a spell on her so she may not be queen leaving Lico, trying his best, to stay as the king for as long as possible. However, King Lico is aware of Deianira's relationship with Hercules. So, he dispatches some people to set out and kill Hercules which, of course, never happens since he's like the strongest man on Earth. When he gets back to Ecalia he discovers Deianira's condition and seeks out the Oracle who tells him to go to Hades and find the stone of Pluto which can help her. Him and his pal Theseus and along with the annoying Telemachus set out to Hades, but first must make a stop at Hesperides where they must retrieve a golden apple so they can get into Hades and get out of it. Hesperides is a place where beautiful women are stuck to live in eternal darkness. Telemachus speaks about how the women eat the men alive which is really not true since they get Procustes, which is a funny looking rock-like creature, to torture people instead. Once Hercules obtains the Golden Apple and defeats Procustes, he is let into Hades where he takes the stone of Pluto back with him to Ecalia. Meanwhile, King Lico talks to, I think, is the God of Pluto who tells him that if he wants to stay King for all eternity he must sacrifice Deianira to Pluto and then drink her blood. That way he can be immortal. Hercules stumbles upon this and must save Deianira before it's too late. I liked some of the visual creativity once Hercules gets to Hell. It's extremely cheesy, but very fun to watch if you don't take it too seriously. Also if you subtract the character of Hercules and just have Reg Park play a guy who is just strong it would still play very well. Slapping Hercules into the title may make some not want to see it. I'm not a big fan of Hercules myself, but I did enjoy this though.
