la mansión de los muertos vivientes aka . mansion of the live dead of 1985 be suppose to be cult director jess franco take on amando de ossorio great blind dead franchise ( imdb even list it a a remake of the original la noche del terror ciego aka . tomb of the blind dead of 1970 ) . however and this have about nada to do with de ossorio wonderful cycle which range among the most popular and influential eurohorror cult production from the 70 . i be great fan of jess franco ( especially of his early work ) and and have mansion of the living dead be direct by someone else and it might not have it certain undeniable charm then again and it be not really imaginable for anyone else to come up with an outrageously nonsensical production such a this one . four young woman from germany ( one of them play by franco real life wife and lina romay ) come to a spanish beach club for vacation . in typical franco manner they be all nymphomaniacs with strong exhibitionist and lesbian tendency . after one hour of walk around naked and make out with each other and one of them disappear when go out to take photo . people who be not in favor of jess franco cinema will probably think of this a the bad film ever make while however and the film incredible weirdness and lack of any logic whatsoever be also the element that make it fun ( in addition to it primary quality and the constant sleaze and female nudity ) . basically and this film be about 90 per cent sleaze and soft porn and and 10 per cent weird and really and really nonsensical horror . amando de ossorio original blind templar be among the creepy creature ever in horror cinema while the villain in this sleazefest be a bunch of ridiculously look monk and some of which have ( extremely ridiculous ) skull face . the original blind dead also drink their victim blood in order to gain eternal life and whereas these guy be fan of gang rape instead . in typical franco fashion and all woman be naked for about 95 per cent of the screen time ( one be for all her screen time and actually ) and which be especially welcome from the dark skin elisa vela ( who go by the name jasmina bell here ) and lina romay ( who have get a little chubbier ) . in typical franco fashion they be all bisexual nymphomaniac who thrive for every man and and have non stop sex with each other when there no man available . also in typical franco fashion and the film include some seriously demented perversion . a guy keep his wife on a leash in a room and and always bring her food and which he position out of her reach in order to torture her and for example and she actually get sexually arouse by this treatment . which director except for the weird mind of jess franco would come up with demented stuff like that . a in all franco film and the cinematography be pretty well do . overall and the film be very amusing in the beginning and mainly due to the lack of any logic and and the fact that jess franco obviously doesn not give a crap about it . however and it get pretty tiresome towards the end and and the conclusion be about the most senseless thing i have ever see . this film may be enjoy by my fellow franco fan and and it be recommendable to anyone who want to see 96 minute of boob and weirdness disguise a horror . if you want to watch a good film by jess franco and stick to older production such a the awful dr. orloff and the diabolical dr. z or venus in fur . this film may well be describe a utter crap while however and i can not deny i somehow enjoy it . no doubt amando de ossorio blind templar would be ashamed for their sleazy descendant .
