*Plot and ending analyzed*
A nice little oddity of 1970s horror, I enjoyed this movie for what it was. It is fairly competent for its minuscule budget.
There is harrowingly creepy music, and two prime examples of no-budget monsters that were actually impressive. One was a ghoul, and the other was a vampire that aged after he was exposed to sunlight. His death scene was compelling, as his face bloated due to the exposure of daylight.
The story of the vampiric curse was not that disagreeable either, and the actors were fairly decent. I especially liked the old man, who remembered his lines reasonably well.
It probably has one of the most effective horror movie posters I have seen. Much like the movie posters of Mardi Gras Massacre (1978), The Dead Are Alive! (1972), Superstition (1982), and Garden of the Dead (1972). Based on that alone, I wanted to watch the movie, but it was so rare though, and never available.
I finally saw it this year and I liked it.
One odd thing about it was when the mute manservant "Perro" (word for dog in Spanish) suddenly takes a dive from the staircase after letting out the pregnant woman from her confinement. Did a supernatural force push him? Did he trip? We don't know.
If you enjoy extremely obscure horror movies, then this should work out fine.
