In the Castle of Bloody Desire is a German horror and exploitation film from 1967 by Adrian Hoven .
action
The framework for the action is an eerie castle, in which the shadows of a terrible and demonic past lurk in every corner. Baron Brack has an orgy party with several guests. He has his eye on the young and seductive Elena Lagrange, whom he desperately wants. He grabs the brunette beauty and tries to make her sexually compliant in his hunting lodge. This is not hidden from the other guests, and together with Elena's fiancé you follow the trail of the aristocratic libertine and his "prey". You won't find anyone in his hunting lodge anymore, because Elena has found refuge in Count Saxon's stately and sinister-looking giant castle. All of her friends from the previous party arrive there.
A terrible fate weighs on the castle owner, Count Saxon. His very young daughter Katharina was abused three days earlier and then killed. To bring her back to life, he wants the heart of Baron Brack's fiancé Marion. A bloody operation ensues. Soon there is sheer horror among the guests when the dead woman actually wakes up again. The guests are now wandering around in panic in the castle, and Brack is confronted with his sins of the past, because Katharina recognizes in him her rapist and murderer. Count Saxon takes bloody vengeance and punishes him with a sword blow. Katharina is accidentally killed again.
Production notes
In the Castle of Bloody Desire , the film was shot in autumn 1967 and premiered on July 26, 1968. Producer Adrian Hoven chose the pseudonym Percy G. Parker as the director.

The film structures were created by Nino Borghi . Actually, Jess Franco , who worked on the story development, should have made the film. But because of an offer from producer Harry Alan Towers , the 4th Dr. He declined to direct the Fu Man Chu series with Christopher Lee , so that producer Adrian Hoven himself took over the direction.

This film was advertised, among other things, that this is the first time a heart operation is being seen. Internationally was sold in the castle of bloody desire under the title Castle of the Creeping Flesh .
Reviews
"Abstruse fantasy about sex and sadism in the context of a crude colportage."
"This [...] pseudo-shocker about a castle and strange and terrible things passing by there, including the raising of a dead person, is embarrassing with regard to the superimposed real recordings of a heart operation, disgusting with regard to the penetrating, purely speculative built-in sex, and ridiculous in terms of its artistic, craftsmanship and technical qualities (except for the camera). We can only warn against this abstruse screen monster. "
"In the only marginally suppressed excess of wildly mixed ideas and inspirations, camp and kitsch, crude and controlled, genre and exploitation, structure and outbreak come together and enter into a wildly rampant, peculiarly beautiful symbiosis."
"Excellent camera work."
