Spoiler alert: in the very first scene, the narrator tells us that he is either already dead or going mad. You don't have to watch the entire movie to know that he's right.
Jess Franco is particularly bad here. Starting with the script which is pointless. He crams in so many camera effects. Some of them give a nice dream-like quality - but his everything and the kitchen sink strategy is not much of a strategy. The constant overdub of the narrator is awful. The film never really finds a groove because the narrator is constantly interrupting the flow.
The strongest points here are the acting and the soundtrack. Both are much better than the average Jess Franco film... this makes the pointless quality of the film even more unforgivable because he could have told an actual story with some of the talent here. Skip this one.
