Antonio Vidal Molina Movies
Spain's leading horror star, Jacinto Molina (alias "Paul Naschy") makes his seventh appearance as the cursed werewolf Waldemar Daninsky in this creepy entry from director Carlos Aured. A prologue set during the Inquisition shows Molina as a witch-hunter who is cursed by an evil Countess (Patty Shepard) while she is burned alive. In the present day, a gypsy revives the curse after Molina shoots a werewolf, leading a pretty girl (Maritza Olivares) to seduce him and pass on the disease of lycanthropy by scarring his chest with a wolf's skull. The curse continues even after Daninsky is done in by his sweetheart (Fabiola Falcon), for she births a child in the sequel-bait conclusion. Jose Manuel Martin, Maria Silva, and Eduardo Calvo co-star. Molina returned as the werewolf in the delirious La Maldicion de la Bestia (1975). ~ Robert Firsching, All Movie Guide

In this baroque Spanish horror film, there is no end of nefarious goings-on. A modern Spanish family lives in a capacious castle. One son of the family wants to inherit the castle, so he chains the rightful heir, his half-brother, in the basement. No one is searching for the brother, who is believed to have died in a (faked) car crash. Nor is there anyone to protect the poor, mad mother. Perhaps they are being held in readiness for the family's annual satanic human sacrifice, also conducted in the basement. The supposedly dead brother's fiancee visits the castle for her vacation. Somehow the chained brother is freed and further mayhem follows. ~ Clarke Fountain, All Movie Guide
