Movies that have that Ravenloft feel

[Grigg_Deadbreaker]

Just wanted to throw out a quick mention for Errementari: The Blacksmith and the Devil. It can be currently found on Netflix, and has a good dark fairy tale quality that matches the feel of the Ravenloft setting.

[The Giamarga]

Freud, on Netflix. We have the protagonist, a medical doctor trying to cheat a bit to get his hypnosis theory accepted by his critical sometimes callous colleagues. A Hungarian medium, missing persons, mysterious murders, more Hungarians, intrigue, debauchery, drugs, seances. An ex military beat cop fighting his inner demons.

It’s great!

I've really enjoyed The Blood on Satan's Claws and Cold Skin, so I'll trust your taste and watch the other ones on your list! It's Sunday, I'm barely done with a purchase simulation for the mega yacht Anna I, so I'm in the mood for a good ol' horror movie before playing a little and going to bed.

New Werewolf movie at the Sundance Festival. Eight for Silver. Judging by the reviews it's one of the better Werewolf movies and the descriptions have Ravenloft written all over.

Have you watched it? Is it good? Because werewolf adaptions were as far as I am concerned disappointing.

[De Montour]

Eight for Silver renamed as The Cursed with a February release date in cinemas. Trailer is on YouTube. Haven't seen it yet but it looks like it has the visuals and the vibe right.

While not in line with the Bluebeard of the mists, the 1972 crime horror movie Bluebeard has a good ravenloft feel. With the bluebearded man being an austrian facist who keeps his murdered wives in a freezer, and murders out of sexual pathos, it is a nice creepy adaptation of the classic tale.

I had seen it around 25 years ago on the cable TV, it has a funny cult 70's feeling. The deaths are really fake and funny I remember laughing in school with some classmates of mine that happened to have seen it.

Oh! the trailer shows every wife killing from the movie, Richard Burton looks really perverted in this movie, the chandelier killing is really Freudian...

I had put some of the movies music by Ennio Morricone in the Ravenloft Music Thread.

I personally prefer the old movie Georges Méliès: Barbablù (1901) it last a bit more than 10 minutes.

“One, he falconated” I love it!

[High Priest Mikhal]

Dario Argento's Seven Gates of Hell trilogy (City of the Living Dead, House by the Cemetery, and The Beyond). All three have scenes that are way over the top for Gothic horror but do have elements that are worth looking at. The first movie includes an excellent example of what a Spawn of Kyuss's "worm-smite" attack would look like. All three show how distant events can ripple outwards and how the sins of the past can effect the present. That's actually the entire plot of The Beyond.

A caveat: these are Dario Argento movies so they're very gory. That's what the man is famous for.

I would also add Lucio Fulci's (?) Demons and Demons 2 because they show how a cursed artifact, a supernatural affliction, and an isolated locale you can't escape from can turn the mundane into the horrifying. I can't recommend Demons 3 because I've never seen it and it's such a departure from the first two I have no plans to. But what I did learn is that it does offer ideas for calibans.

Finally, The Thing (original Fifties version and 1982 remake, not the 2011 "prequel"). Just substitute mimics for the titular alien. Since corpses do count as "objects" in D&D, a sadistic DM can have a lot of fun there.

Not a big fan of horror, but The Last Voyage of the Demeter is one I’ll see. People trapped on a ship with a vampire who ain’t playin around. Didn’t post that as spoilers since it is all in the trailer.

Any good werewolf-horror movies? That are not cheesy AND the werewolf is the bad guy that needs to be killed with silver and stuff?
