This Spanish-language film takes place in a Barcelona apartment building, as a television producer gets trapped in a quarantine situation with a deadly outbreak. Todd usually doesn’t like this sort of thing, but he enjoyed this film.
Ah, where to begin with this one? Scary it is not, but you’d be hard-pressed to find a more wacky or off-putting film in all of cinema. We wish we could say we were taken in by its charms, but some rather disgusting antics in this movie turned our stomachs more than mere goriness ever could.
By the end, we were unexpectedly touched by this dated but unique “killer baby” movie.
This slow burn creep-fest really got under our skin and we enjoyed discussing its many nuances.
Who knew there was such a market for mediocre killer puppet movies?
We’re both happy to discuss this Mario Bava giallo flick, which turned out to be the granddaddy of the slasher genre that came to prominence a decade later in the 80’s. Yes, the plot is convoluted. But at least there IS a plot. Listen as we attempt to unravel it.
