The Whip and the Body Ratings & Reviews
Stream on Demand
Sean Axmaker
Shot in delirious color and accomplished with lush style, this is a ghost story wracked with guilt, sadism, and mad passions, and yet it never completely tips its hand.
Slant Magazine
Budd Wilkins
Mario Bava's The Whip and the Body is a gorgeously stylized gothic ghost story, replete with kinky sex, fiery passions, and coldblooded murder.
Film Frenzy
Matt Brunson
The Whip and the Body often plays more like soap opera than supernatural thriller -- Dark Shadows would have worked as a title for this, too -- but it's the eerie atmospherics, not the plot particulars, that take center stage.
CinePassion
Fernando F. Croce
Mario Bava's erotic masterpiece
Combustible Celluloid
Jeffrey M. Anderson
Many Mario Bava fans consider this to be one of his best, and it's certainly a contender with its effectively stylish rendering of a pulpy ghost mystery.
Slant Magazine
Ed Gonzalez
The Whip and the Body is a gothic horror fantasy that finds Bava at the peak of his visual prowess.
