Four strippers take a vacation and wind up at a Spanish resort complex that, despite the hotel receptionist’s claims of it being fully booked, appears to be completely empty. After one of the girls mysteriously vanishes and another ends up dead in the pool, both accompanied by the tolling bell from a nearby monastery, Candy and Caty must try to solve the mystery that seems to involve the Spanish Inquisition.

Viewing Notes

A pretty lousy outing from Franco, even by Franco standards. This is unofficially a sort-of fifth sequel to the Blind Dead films, but has no actual relation to the previous films other than using poor imitations of the same undead knights templar as the antagonists. The four vacationing women spend almost the entire film topless or entirely nude, mostly having sex with each other since there are almost no men around in the strangely deserted hotel.

To the great disappointment of mansion lovers everywhere, there is no mansion anywhere in this despite the title.
