Danza Macabra Vol. Three: The Spanish Gothic Collection
Curated by 71CamaroGuy
Spain’s tradition of Gothic Horror – particularly during the Franco dictatorship – was characterized by daring concepts, lush visuals, extreme sexuality and a startling aesthetic all its own. These four classic shockers from the 1970s represent the genre at its most audacious: In The Butcher of Binbrook, the debut feature by writer/director Miguel Madrid, a fractured family in a crumbling castle conceals a grisly graveyard secret. The anthology film Cake of Blood – never previously available outside of Spain – presents a quartet of supernatural tales by four young filmmakers. Hammer Films director John Gilling brings his inimitable style to the occult thriller in The Devil's Cross. And a terminally ill woman is enticed by eternal life in León Klimovsky’s vampire masterwork, Strange Love of the Vampires.
