Don't get me wrong, I like the films of Paul Naschy (Jacinto Molina) but they can't by any means be called "good". This one is a bit of a step up from the usual fake fur and shoe polish werewolf stuff he seems to be so fond of, and it's about an evil man and his evil assistant who were killed back in olden times and now (thanks to modern stupidity) have been summoned back to haunt the living. There's some nice settings (especially the swamp, I love swamps) and a touch more class to this one. Now, the Mondo Crash DVD features 3 versions, and I watched the "uncut" International version, whatever that means, but there's also a "clothed" version and a US release version, which I haven't gotten around to seeing yet, but if the "uncut" version is any indication the other two must be quite tame because I though this version was too. The camera pulls away from too much nastiness and it's left to your imagination, which is fine, but then again this WAS the early 70's and folks could not get away with what they do now, which in some ways was probably much better. Anyway, probably a must for fans of Euro-horror, I kind of liked it but it's not worth raving about or anything. 7 out of 10.
