Viewing Notes
aka PANIC BEATS, which is a better title
For my Paul Naschy project this is definitely one of the better films of his I’ve seen this year and makes sense why Mondo Macabro grabbed this title. Turns out this is also a giallo flick, which was a nice surprise.
Naschy directs and shows he has the skills so I don’t understand what happened with his Beast and Magic Sword film.
