The Murder Mansion (1972) (Spain/Italy)

aka Maniac Mansion/Exorcism Mansion 

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️


Perfectly weird Spanish/Italian co-production never takes an easy road, even if it forsakes sensical storytelling... and we’re all better off for it. A heavy fog leaves several travelers stranded in a decrepit mansion with the roads being far too dangerous to navigate. Their hostess shares tales of a witch ancestor and a local vampire, worsening the already nervous state of a rich heiress (one of the stranded played with wide-eyed crazy zeal by the breathtaking Analía Gadé) who was attacked in the abandoned cemetery near the house by an old woman in black and a hulking chauffeur who seemed less than alive. As the night draws on, more horrific sightings happen and lives are lost. A curious motorcyclist (the devilishly handsome Andrés Resino) and the beautiful hitchhiker (gorgeous Lisa Leonardi) he has fallen for attempt to solve the mystery of the murder mansion before they fall victim to its sinister shenanigans. Wonderfully bizarre film (that makes a bit more sense after the climatic reveal) is an unseen treat for at least a few horror fans. Worth tracking down.
