Did this film ever suck!! It was a blind purchase & one I regret getting. The title of the film is based on an iron maiden type torture device which gouges out the eyes of it's victims via two large spike at eye level. However, the device isn't really used but only once through out the entire film for a grand total of one gruesome death (almosts don't count here). Virgin of Nuremberg is boring, has silly dialog, laughable musical score & a razor thin "plot" that made little to no sense. And all this "atmosphere" previous reviewers are raving about is over-hyped. Believe me there are literally dozens of good horror films with better "atmospheres". And to add insult to injury, the great Christopher Lee was under used. Only one gruesome death & a few non-eventful ones. I was expecting a almost sleazy, torture-filled, damn near exploitation horror flick. Instead I get something so bland horror wise, it could almost be shown to a group of elementary school children (probably put them to sleep). TVON was like a heavily watered down version of Mario Bava's much superior film, "Baron Blood." What a turkey! I sure hope Christopher Lee's "Whip & The Body" is better (it has to be).
