British aristocrat Clive Dawson (Antonio Molino Rojo) returns to 1930s India with his new bride Brenda (Mary Maude). News of his marriage has forced his paramour Shaheen (Rosalba Neri) to commit suicide, but not before putting a curse on their stately mansion. Filmed the year before VAMPYRES, this is an attempt at a ghost story set in India. I'm sure the closest they got to India was the local curry restaurant in Spain as most of the India footage is stock footage. While the set up offers some promise, it isn't exploited to its full potential at all. Larraz can be accused of slow pacing in his films, but this might be the biggest offender. Literally nothing happens for the first hour. When it finally does, you only have 25 minutes left and, sadly, it isn't that thrilling.
