Horror Extreme Movie Catalog

While on a trip to Spain, Lisa Reiner (the beautiful Elke Sommer!!) gets hopelessly separated from her tour group, leading to a bizarre oddyssey into the supernatural. Lisa keeps running into a strange, bald guy w/ a mannequin (Telly Savalas from Horror Express), and she apparently kills another man by accidentally knocking him down some stone steps! Poor Lisa wanders through the labyrinth-like streets / alleys of Toledo, having one weird encounter after another, until finally hitching a ride w/ a married couple and their chauffeur. All is well until they have engine trouble, winding up at a huge mansion in the middle of nowhere. The only residents are an old blind woman (Alida Valli), her odd son (Allessio Orano), and their butler (Telly again!). Things drag on for awhile while the dream-like atmosphere builds. Then, once the first murder takes place, all bets are off! The rest is an insane murder-spree w/ ghostly implications. Lisa and her fellow travelers are caught up in a maelstrom of madness and death. The finalé is an example of the perfect downbeat ending. Telly is devilishly good fun! A classic...

Wow!
What an absolute freak-out of a gothic horror movie.
Surrealistic mayhem.
Beautifully filmed, scored and acted.
I will have to watch it twenty more times to "get it",
that is, if there is anything to "get",
not that it matters.
Something to do with the nature of existence,
the human condition and evil, no doubt; maybe.
Great film.
