The popular Spanish rock group Hombres G stars in this comedy aimed at distaff teens. Concert footage from the group's performances in Madrid and Acapulco are spliced into a thin plot. An amorous female fan threatens the lead singer with blackmail by promising fodder for an ambitious scandal photographer. ~ Dan Pavlides, All Movie Guide

A woman who can no longer bear abusive treatment from her husband, takes off and goes to live in Barcelona where she starts up a relationship with another man. Just as her husband has located her through a detective, he meets with a horrendous accident on the way to the airport and ends up back home from the hospital, wrapped in bandages due to his burns and completely disfigured. His wife arrives from Barcelona, but not in time to see him before he dies. Then the oddest things start happening. Furniture flies through the air, weird lights come and go, and a myriad of supernatural phenomena make it readily apparent that the dead husband is out to "get" his wife for her extra-marital affair. A priest and an expert in the paranormal are called in to help, but to no avail. The husband's body is disinterred - though that does not seem to help either. When most everything has failed, the wife, her lover, and the master of the paranormal join forces to try to exorcise the spirit of her dead husband one last time. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, All Movie Guide

Fortunately, the engineer in this movie never gets around to marrying his pregnant American girlfriend in the church or her their subsequent divorce would have left him in no position to remarry. Ironically, when he proposes to his new girlfriend, a nurse, she confesses to being separated from her spouse, and he must -- as both a loving man and a good Catholic -- live in sin with her. ~ Clarke Fountain, All Movie Guide

When state officials test out a new experimental pest-control device that uses subsonic waves to kill insects, it produces an unwelcome but interesting side-effect: the noise is enough to wake the dead -- literally -- and the corpses of the recently deceased begin to rise from their dirt-naps with ravenous appetites for warm human flesh. Since the predicted zombie jubilee starts off with more than a whimper than a bang (actually it's more of a wheeze, since these are particularly asthmatic undead), viewers are left with a rather mundane police drama as clueless detectives try to pin the mutilation murders on a group of free-wheeling hippies. Despite high production values and some audacious gore effects by Giannetto De Rossi (who would later lend his splattery talents to Lucio Fulci's Zombie and many more Italian zombie films), this Spanish/Italian co-production falters in the middle thanks to sluggish pacing and dull investigation scenes, which are devoid of suspense since the zombies' existence is already made known. Also released under the quaint title Breakfast at the Manchester Morgue, among others. ~ Cavett Binion, All Movie Guide
One of the final links between the Edgar Wallace-based German krimi genre and the Italian giallo thriller, this creepy mystery stars Fabio Testi as a college professor who sleeps with his students and is blamed when a string of murders occurs. Joachim Fuchsberger, as usual, is the police inspector trying to solve the killings; Camille Keaton, Buster Keaton's grand-niece and later the star of Meir Zarchi's I Spit on Your Grave (1980) has a supporting role; cameraman Aristide Massaccesi, later infamous as gore director "Joe D'Amato," turns up as a cop. Massimo Dallamano's direction is assured. This first-rate thriller was based on Wallace's Secret of the Green Pin. ~ Robert Firsching, All Movie Guide

This stylishly eerie Spanish production stars elegant Lili Palmer as the severe headmistress of a French boarding school for young women, where the rigid constraints of 19th-century social conditioning have turned the place into a hothouse of barely contained sexual urges (leading to lots of gauzy shots of the girls slinking about in their nightgowns). Into this heady mix is introduced Palmer's deranged son (John Moulder Brown), whose frustrated desires have forced his latent psychotic urges to the surface, compelling him to stalk the hapless boarders in the hope of acquiring body parts for a horrific human jigsaw puzzle. Quite intense for its time, this film represented a new boldness in style among European thrillers which would reach its peak during the 1970s. ~ Cavett Binion, All Movie Guide
