Customer Reviews

Excellent DVD presentation, but please include English subtitles!!!!
This is a wonderful, creepy supernatural horror film, little known to English-speaking audiences, but ripe for rediscovery. It's a rare 1960s horror film aimed at adults, which is probably why it was never released in the USA, where horror films were more often than not marketed for the teenage audience, hence the re-editing and re-titling of more serious horror films when released to the US drive-in circuit (in particular, Mario Bava's films were all butchered for US release, to the point where THE WHIP AND THE BODY became absolutely incomprehensible and BLACK SABBATH had a critical lesbian subplot completely removed from one of the three segments of the film). I applaud the manufacturer of this DVD for releasing the film in a beautiful print, but why no English subtitles??!! EVERY film released in Region 1 format should be viewable by both English and Spanish speaking audiences. It's a crime that non-Spanish speakers continue to lack access to one of the better horror films of the 1960s when subtitles could so easily have been included in the package.

Excellent
A masterpiece of the black cinema in Mexico, one more time Carlos Enrique Taboada was able to shake public.

A great horror film by Taboada!
This, again, is another masterpiece of director and writer Carlos Enrique Taboada. I have read some other critiques requesting English subtitles and I think that this should be included in all of Taboada's films. Unffortunately Churubusco Studios (Mexico's Hollywood) does not have a general DVD producer. And most of the DVD editions of these films are independent DVD producers whose audience is mostly Spanish-speaking. Thus they do not believe they need to add English subtitles. Hopefully a major U.S. DVD producer will pick these films up and re-release them with bonus features and English subtitles.
