What makes Franco-era Spanish horror so horrible? The unnecessary cruelty and emphatic nastiness, a combination that’s led to more than a few essays about political repression. Narciso Ibáñez Serrador’s shocker puts psycho headmistress Lilli Palmer in charge of a twisted girl’s boarding school. Get ready for ice-cold Women-In-Prison intrigues, with macabre carnage for a chaser. Arrow Video’s pristine new encoding is already being applauded — it far surpasses edited, color-challenged older releases, revealing a beautifully-produced thriller with fine lighting cinematography.

Cinema Retro,
I just wanted to say thank you for the fantastic job you guys did on the Aldo Sambrell article. It's sad for many of older fans to see these actors now ride into the sunset without them getting the send off they deserve. Many out of the public eye for nearly 30 - 40 years now are unknown to anyone under 40 and yet they are missing a heritage and a group of actors who dominated films in the 60s and 70s. The character actors in the Spaghetti western genre appear over an over in the genre and to the fans they are as recognizable and loved as the stars of the films themselves. It was always great to see a film and see the names Fernando Sancho, Aldos Sambrell, Victor Israel, Lorenzo Robledo,...
