An American family travels in them carriage through old Scotland.They are going to the old castle of the dead Sir Reginald for the reading of the will.During a standstill in an inn they discover that their old relative is dead with leprosy.Then in the castle they meet the other relatives and during a black ritual they evoke the spirit of Sir Reginald,also to discover the hideaway of his treasure hidden in the castle.The soul of the old ancestor still lives in the castle and is raged for the greed of the descendants,so night after night he persecutes them making their stay a nightmare.This is the synopsis of "La Settima Tomba"-extremely rare and obscure Italian Gothic horror made in 1965.The film is quite dull and lacks suspense and eerie atmosphere.The location sets provide a bit of Gothic mood and it's nice to see young Gianni Dei of "Giallo a Venezia" infamy in a small role.Still "The Seventh Grave" is worth watching,but only for completists of forgotten Italian horror.5 tombs out of 10.
