It has the look of a Hammer movie with gothic castles and dungeons although actually set in contemporary times, the photography is sumptuous and colourful and the music owes more than a nod to James Bernard's lush melodies.
Spanish horror regular Rosanni Yanni has a small role as a gypsy but most of the cast were unknowns to me other than Naschy.
Not an exceptional film but an important one nonetheless, modern Spanish horror really started with this and love him or hate him Paul Naschy became an icon as a result.
