Picked this up, being a Jess Franco fan, but was somewhat surprised by the BBFC 12 rating. Surely not?? A Franco horror film without lashings of gore and nudity?? Well yes, actually. So straightaway it's very tame by his usual standard. The film is also slow, dull and looks badly acted, though that could be down to the atrocious dubbing on the English language version. On the plus side it is pretty creepy, filmed in an old castle in the mountains and does have his wife Lina Romay in it, though amazingly she is fully clothed throughout. Worth ticking off for Francophiles, otherwise avoid like the plague!
