Pretty weird Italian horror film that reminded me a bit of Frankenstein. Not great and I kind of lost interest halfway through but it does pick up in the finale and all in all found it to be entertaining enough. 3.5/5

Whats going on inside the spooky old windmill?
In 1890s Holland, a writer (Pierre Brice) visits a mill where a reclusive sculptor lives (Herbert Böhme). One of the attractions is the artists odd carrousel that displays ghastly statues of women. Then theres his striking daughter (Scilla Gabel) whom he wont allow out of the mill for some reason. Whats going on? Wolfgang Preiss is on hand as the sculptors in-house doctor.
An Italian/French production, Mill of the Stone Women (1960) is colorful and atmospheric Hammer-esque horror that combines the basic set-up of the Dracula story whereupon a young man visits a strange, Victorian abode hosted by an eccentric old man mixed with bits of the Frankenstein story and House of Wax.
