In order of merit:


1.Mill of the Stone Women (1960) ***
2.The Trojan Horse (1961) ***
3.Night of the Devils (1972) **1/2
4.The Lion of Thebes (1965) **1/2
5.The Battle of El Alamein (1969) **1/2
6.Thunder of Battle (1964) **1/2
7.The Bacchantes (1961) **
8.Fort Yuma Gold (1967) **
9.Hercules Against Moloch (1963) *1/2



Although he worked, like so many others, almost exclusively within the genre conventions prevalent in Italian cinema at the time, Ferroni's films occasionally rose above the rut and, much like his contemporary Riccardo Freda, produced several pleasant diversions and a couple of good films.

The first two are among the finest examples of their respective subgenre - gothic horror and peplum - and the third is a belated, above-average, modernized remake of "The Wurdulak" segment from Mario Bava's BLACK SABBATH (1963).

Unfortunately, very little of his work is available on R1 DVD but there's no reason not to try out that which is...
