Enacting a debauched Buñuelian ritual in an underground dungeon, a group of elite movers--Paul Naschy among them--are unwittingly protected from an unseen nuclear incident. Despite no overt signs of destruction to the surrounding countryside, it only takes about twelve hours for the group to completely implode psychologically and for blind, enraged villagers to surround their complex. Abrupt and depraved in each regard, León Klimovsky's late-career zombie variant is--like so much Spanish horror--simultaneously dusty and tossed-off, and in possession of an assured classicist aesthetic sense.

Grim and unpredictable. Lofty and profane.

After a nuclear bomb(s) goes off, a group of Spaniards who were in the middle of a hedonistic orgy via the inspiration of the Marquis de Sade must now band together to survive radiation, insanity, and a horde of blind, angry, and hungry townsfolk.

What a concept! Featuring Paul Naschy as one of the swingers, this Spanish production is a bizarre mix of almost Hammer-esque gothic horror and Italian post-apocalyptic atmosphere. While it isn't soundly structured and there are a few dabbed-on beards, it's still an interesting lost gem that has recently resurfaced.

The bleakest Paul Naschy film I've ever seen.

Lotta fun. More could have been done with the script - which has a tight plot but errant narrative execution. But, hey, it's Euro-horror, narrative cohesion is not its real ambition. Very cool film - beautiful actresses abound, including a real favorite of mine, Teresa Gimpera.

A curious combination of de Sade and the nuclear post-apocolyptic genre, with a very cool and dark ending.
