The Mitches Wountain
22 February 2017
This is yet another film where you should probably watch it without the aid of booze or sleeping pills or whatever as barely anything happens at all for its entire running time. That said, it's not a total failure, but it's not that good either.

After a fairly interesting start where a woman finds her cat stabbed to death by a young girl, then sets that young girl on fire, said woman goes to lay it on Fatal Attraction style with her ex, photographer Mario (and that is one THICK moustache that man has on him). Mario's not taking her insane advances too well, so he cancels his vacation and takes an assignment to go to Witches Mountain to take pictures of stuff.

So far, so early seventies European horror. Mario heads off and somehow hooks up with a woman he was taking topless picture of on the fly. The two of them head off to Witches Mountain and the film kind of grinds to a halt.

Uneventful, or atmospheric? Brooding or boring? That's up to you. Me, I had a hard time keeping my eyes open as these two wandered around the brooding, atmospheric Spanish landscape in a uneventful, boring way. There are touches here and there that saves the film from being a total flatliner (like the guy taking creepy pictures, the start of the film, others) but this isn't the best Euro-horror I've watched. At all.
