This little piece of modest South American exploitation is an Hispanic combination of Mark of the Devil and House of Whipcord. A group of religious enthusiasts operating out of (as always) a Gothique castle are determined to destroy satanists, diabolists and sinful women when they find them.

In fact they are pretty much targeting only women. Good looking ones too. Can't help but get the feeling that they enjoy what they do too.

Anyway, they combine this ecclesiastical zeal with modest scenes of torture and violence. This is strictly a category B movie in that regard- topless exposure, but not full frontal, and most of the death scenes are seen only in aftermath.

So this counts as interesting rather than a wonderful addition to the genre. Doubtless someone will pick it up for DVD release ....

Spanish-language cinema across Spain and Latin America is united by its engagement with history, cultural identity, and social transformation. In Spain, films often balance artistic experimentation with popular genres while reflecting on memory, politics, and family. In Latin America, cinema has been deeply tied to questions of colonial legacy, resistance, and community resilience, ranging from intimate dramas to bold political allegories.

The horror genre features stories that aim to elicit fear, suspense, and a sense of dread in its audience. Horror stories often explore themes related to the unknown, the supernatural, and the macabre, and they frequently evoke strong emotional reactions such as anxiety, terror, and unease.

A small group of men lead by a woman reside in an old castle and kidnap women they believe are "loose" subjecting them to medieval tortures. One day they kidnap two women who happen to be real witches.
