During her marriage to British director "Kip" Gowens, American actress Lee Remick resided in England. Here she made a number of obscure films, one of the obscurest of which was The Hunted. This time around, Remick plays the secretary of an industrialist (Ivan Desny). A corporate spy (Michael Hinz) uses the secretary as a means of getting to her boss. When the industrialist is killed, she is the sole witness. The last half hour of the film takes place in a locked building in the dead of night, with the villain playing a sadistic game of cat-and-mouse with our wide-eyed heroine. The Hunted was released in England as Touch Me Not. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

This is a superior Hammer-style effort from Spanish horror star, Paul Naschy (aka Jacinto Molina), better known for his recurring werewolf character Valdemar Daninsky. Here Naschy portrays a rather beefy-looking version of the legendary vampire masquerading as Dr. Wendell Marlowe, the director of a castle-based sanitarium in which a quartet of lovely but unfortunate travelers have sought shelter for the night. Before long, the count has made late-night snacks of the three of them, sparing the virginal fourth woman for a ceremony intended to revive his long-dead daughter. All the Naschy trademarks are on hand, from the rich gothic feel to the nearly senseless story line (made worse by clumsy re-editing in the American release version); most available prints are missing much of the film's plentiful gore and kinky eroticism. This film is also known as Cemetery Girls, Cemetery Tramps, and Vampire Playgirls, among others. ~ Cavett Binion, Rovi

This romantic fantasy finds Eduardo (Alfredo Landa) as the mild-mannered groom whose honeymoon is interrupted when his wife goes to care for her sick mother. He dreams he murders his wife and takes up with her narcissistic friend Dora whom he then kills. He goes on to have an affair with Veronique, the dope-smoking hippie girl, who convinces him to help her and her friends put on a theater engagement. The show goes so badly the crowd beats up the actors. Taking up with the beautiful Sebastiana, the duo are shipwrecked and Eduardo discovers his girlfriend is an uncontrollable sex fiend. Eduardo awakens from his daydream to finds himself about to marry his bride-to-be. After the ceremony, his wife falls down the steps of the church and dies. As he visits her grave, he meets a young widow, and love lives on in the cemetery as the two amorously embrace with little regard or respect for the dearly departed around them. ~ Dan Pavlides, Rovi

This comedic social satire finds huge targets when it takes aim at the Catholic church and the traditional roles of males and females in Spain. A poor worker is upset because he and his wife keep having children. He finds a supplier for birth control pills, and enlists the source to pose as a bishop. The friend, disguised as the bishop, tells the wife it is not a sin to use birth control. Later she discovers she has been tricked and throws the pills away. The poor couple is faced with the prospect of having even more children as a result. Although the mood of the film is comedic and lighthearted, it induces relevant thoughts about population control and religious interferences that affect hundreds of millions. ~ Dan Pavlides, Rovi
