shade of jess franco . this one have all the mark of a classic franco hack a thon and and come out of spain . a with almost everything franco do and this director obviously have the knowhow to create a decent film and but he couldn not be bother to go back and polish all the rough part . and the movie seem to be nothing but rough part all the way through . the result be like watch the rush for a talented neighbor home movie for a script he hack out in a day and if your neighbor have a photogenic wife ( like rommy ) and a 35mm camera . the plot be completely lurid and which actually part of the movie charm . it start out with a masked guy ( very phantom of the opera ) revive dead woman a zombie to do his bidding and which mostly involve strangle people who obligingly just stand there and let them get on with it . ( i have to admit that the make up on the zombie be pretty effective and one of the real reason to watch the movie . ) at least that the opening scene . and before you know it and the plot have become a freeway pileup of indian mysticism and serial murder and topless woman and stylize slow motion assault and zombie ( of course ) and satanism and ritual sacrifice and hallucinatory nightmare . have i leave anything out . oh yeah and all do to a swing heavy jazz soundtrack that start a new theme every two or three minute and stop in the middle of a musical phrase whenever a scene end and and in general seem to have nothing to do with the action on the screen . the dvd print i saw ( part of a drive in movie classic 50 pack ) be awful while it be a full screen pan and scan and but manage to consistently leave out one or all of the actor in a give shot and instead give u reveal shot of the middle of the set . and mix for the sound be apparently do in the bottom of a steel barrel . the overall sound manage to be muddy but be nevertheless so shrill and tinny that i be afraid it might make the neighborhood dog start to howl . this be a shame because the dubbing for the dialog actual be one of the good effort i have hear from this era the dialog be still stilted and clumsy and but it seem a if the esl voice actor might have be allow to actually rehearse a little before they have to jump into the studio . and again and the jazz music be mostly very sprightly and vivid sort of the stuff you would hear in a tv commercial for the new model lamborghini or something while it would have be nice to hear it the way it be perform . my guess be that someone in production intentionally mixed thing to sound best come out of the speaker at a drive in movie . either that and or they hat u and want u to bleed from the ear and die in torment . so yes and it a mess . but somehow and it an enjoyable mess and if only for the ambition of the lead actor and who cast himself in three different part and the director and who try to mix three or four different horror genre in one screenplay and and some hard work support actor who try their best to give the proceeding some dignity . do not pay money to see this and unless it part of a collection . if you pay more than $ 5 to own a dvd of this movie by itself and you will probably be look around for a throat to slit when it be over .
