Yes it's true there is no creeping flesh in this movie and not that much flesh really either.
I watched the restored and uncut version released by Severin and it's mostly a lot of talk, terrible acting and terrible dubbing and music. There is a lot of eye rolling, the lead villain is especially terrible.
Howard Vernon looks younger than I'm used to seeing him, but the voice they use to dub him sounds like it's from some giant of a man it's pitched so low.
There is little style to the direction, save one flashback scene to a rape scene, but there isn't much sleaze to be enjoyed here unless you like lots of shots of real heart surgery--interestingly enough the director had a bad heart, perhaps that's why he found this footage so interesting as it goes on and on.
The movie to goes on and on, lots of sitting around a big table eating and talking then walking around the castle and talking, it's really quite dull and protracted. Every scene just goes on and on to try to make the film longer.
Nudity is brief, there are two rape scenes that aren't very convinging, the plot doesn't make much sense which wouldn't matter if there were suspenseful set pieces. The real castle they shot at gives a bit of production value but they don't do much with it.
I'd say skip this one, don't be fooled by the title as that's not what the movie is about. I should mention there is a beat attack, a pretty shoddy bear attack and bear suit but at least something threatening happens.
Poorly made and dull dull dull.
