English The queen of old gothic horror Barbara Steele will likely be the main attraction to bring in viewers to The Butterfly Room. If anything, at least they will enjoy her presence because she hardly ever leaves the screen. Otherwise, the film is well put together, and if you accept the improbable story without thinking too much, it’s also watchable. ()

English The Italian-American movie The Butterfly Room is first and foremost aimed at the enthusiasts of horror movies from the 1960s to the late 1980s. It works as a movie because you can tell the cast love acting in horror movies, and Barbara Steele is absolutely incredible at seventy-five. The Butterfly Room is right up my street, so I could not care that this is an otherwise straightforward horror movie about a bad lady. ()
