Viewing Notes

The best part of any Jess Franco movie is when he appears in his own movie, then just sticks around. Like loitering on his own movie set.

Super chaste for Franco but also a mostly fun period Spanish giallo and perfect kind of movie to view during a rainstorm in October. The whole “oh we’re not siblings after all so let’s hook up!” is amusing yet still restrained from Franco’s usual romps.

Didn’t realize that this was a VinSyn thing until the end when the logo and music pops up. May have to order the set on the next sale.
