say this movie be extremely hard to follow and just a frustrate to sit through be put it very mildly . also say that the current available print be dark and dreary and scratchy and abysmally edit and painfully dub and seemingly censor and in almost unwatchable shape be also correct . this film be in dire need of a good remastering from the full and uncut and original negative and see how it reasonably atmospheric ( and win the director an award at the catalonia film festival ) and it might actually be worth the trouble . then again and maybe not . it just impossible to tell in it current condition what kind of movie it actually be . it start fairly interesting and if you can discount the completely senseless pre credit open sequence and which involve a deranged cat killing and snake loving little girl name gerda . the girl mom and carla ( mónica randall and who should have lay off the eyeliner a little bit ) and splash some gasoline around in the garage and torch the brat . seemingly about as crazy a young gerda and she go to visit her estranged photographer ( ex . ) boyfriend mario ( john or cihangir caffari ) . he on vacation from work and but so desperate to get away from carla that he beg his employer to set him up on an assignment . any assignment . she scowl you will be sorry . a he head out the door . well and mario be assign to photograph witch mountain ( somewhere in the pyrenees and i believe ) . before he get to his destination and he get sight of a hottie on the beach name delia ( patty shepard ) and snap a few picture of her take off her bikini top . only slightly peeve and she claim to be a single writer and the two flirt and then decide it would be a swell idea if they go on the trip up the mountain together . when they stop by her place so she can pack her bag and mario suddenly hear loud and sinister music . delia claim he just hear thing . so the two begin their trip up the mountain and take a stop at a local inn to spend the night . there they encounter a weird and partially deaf and crazy eye innkeeper ( victor israel ) and delia claim someone be spy on here through her window . the next day and under some trance and she wanders off up the mountain and be eventually locate by mario and who hop out of his jeep and run after her . while he find out what up and someone steal their wheel and theyre force to walk a piece and eventually find the jeep undamaged at the foot of a small and ancient and seem abandon village . almost like someone be try to intentionally lure them there . well a we will see and that exactly what have happen . in the village they encounter a friendly old woman name zanta ( ana farra ) who claim she the only person still live there and let them stay in her home . mario take some picture of the abandon city and when he develop them they be eerily full of people . slightly creep out and he and delia begin to leave and get stick in treacherous fog and have to pull over and camp out for the night . the rest of the movie have to do with voodoo doll and black cat transform into sexy woman and satanic ritual perform by lady in their bra and a deadly fall off a cliff . and yeah and coincidentally carla the estranged wife turn out to be one of the witch and too . it all take place in semi darkness and to be quite honest and i do not know what the hell be go on most of the time . the inconclusive open end be just an additional slap in the face to anyone have to suffer through the rest of this senseless mess . honestly and there be just a few thing that stand out to me a be really good . the first be actress shepard and who have that great barbara steele kind of dark and mysterious beauty . there also an excellent music score ( credit to fernando garcia morcillo ) and chant song and which aid immensely in make this film as atmospheric a it be . the location work be fairly decent and but a i say and the print be ugly a can be and it doesn not make a lick of sense and so proceed with caution on this one .
