Torture Dungeon, 1970

The plot for this film is slightly wild, the Duke of Norwich is killing and torturing anyone in his way of gaining the throne of England. One of the heirs is pregnant by her brother, another is a bumbling idiot who the duke marries off to a local girl who is later found to be a long lost princess?!

There is also a bizarre moment the duke who has been having his way with his hunchback servant, tells his other servant he has also been seeing that he is not a homosexual, or asexual but a trisexual! Which leads him to having a threesome with them both!

Torture Dungeon, I found to be a bit of a torture to watch. Even though it is on 80 minutes it felt a lot longer. I know a lot of Andy Milligan films are really low budget and campy affairs and this one isn't any different! While it does have some bloody scenes, the torture dungeon only appears maybe twice in the film! Most the murders happen away and outside from the Castle.

It is supposed to be a period horror but from the sets you can tell it's more likely been a rush job of trying to make it look medieval, I'm sure in one scene I saw electrical wires coming out of a wall!

I probably won't be in rush to watch this again anytime soon. It is an interestingly odd feature but may only appeal to hardcore Milligan fans!
