7/10
Genuinely eerie horror film from the Iberian peninsula...
10 February 2020
The setting or location, the makeup of the creatures, and the musical score... all blend wonderfully well to create a truly chilling effect- the ghouls or 'revenants' are actually scary and the ruined estate is creepy even at high noon. The acting is so-so and the plot is a bit inadequate or goofy here and there. But this incredibly atmospheric 1972 Spanish/Portuguese film is well worth a watch. But be sure to see the longer Spanish language version and avoid the dubbed shortened (censored/edited ) English language one if you can, as it will make much more sense and give you a more total experience.
