Partway Gothic horror and partway giallo, La bambola di Satana is an all-round bad movie. No clichés are left untouched as this listless and poorly-paced film lumbers from one half-hearted surprise to another. That the film is so obscure is unsurprising; it is hardly destined to be celebrated as a lost classic in the event that it is ever “rediscovered.” … With its over-lit interiors, unconvincing day-for-night exteriors, bad acting, choppy editing and appalling score, La Bambola di Satana is a strong contender for the worst giallo of the 1960s.
