Schalcken the Painter (1979)

Darth Brutus's Baadasssss Film Diary for 2021 (64 movies items)

"24.9. Very stylish and atmospheric little gothic horror film. It's a tale of a painter who ends up selling his loved one to a rich man who's said to be ugly as a devil. Later the beauty-obsessed student becomes a rich and famous painter and master of his craft, but after the memory of his deceased mentor brings back some old memories, he sees a vision of dread and horror of his loved one, now dead and united in death for eternity with her devilish owner and husband."
