One of the best films i have seen
Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction
View MoreA film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."

View MoreIndia 1930: When white plantation owner Clive Dawson casts his Indian mistress aside, she puts a curse on the place and kills herself but the place was cursed with insanity long before that...An older man, his young bride, his handsome son... something bad was bound to happen in the tropical heat but is it supernatural or inherited? Eurotrash goddess Rosealba Neri (a sultry cross between Ava Gardner and Nefertiti) plays the discarded concubine in a haunting, deliberately paced tale of white mischief in the jungle with nice period detail and an evocative score. Well done, Larraz. I was surprised to see the MGM logo of all things introducing the subtitled, letterboxed film.
View MoreQuite exotic Spanish horror movie we have here.A planter who lives with his son in a remote area of India has an affair with a native girl.On a trip to England he remarries and the native girl commits suicide.On his return he is seized by a superstitious fear and his wife and son become attracted to each other."La Muerte Incierta" is along with "Emma,Puertas Oscuras"(1974)one of the most obscure horror movies made by Jose Ramon Larraz.It's quite boring and unexciting ghost story with a little bit of gore and absolutely no nudity.Still it's nice to see lovely Mary Maude who was extremely memorable as a sadistic schoolgirl in Chicho Ibanez Serrador's "La Residencia"(1969).Plus the scenes of tiger attack are quite gruesome.6 out of 10.
View MoreBritish aristocrat Clive Dawson (Antonio Molino Rojo) returns to 1930s India with his new bride Brenda (Mary Maude). News of his marriage has forced his paramour Shaheen (Rosalba Neri) to commit suicide, but not before putting a curse on their stately mansion. Filmed the year before VAMPYRES, this is an attempt at a ghost story set in India. I'm sure the closest they got to India was the local curry restaurant in Spain as most of the India footage is stock footage. While the set up offers some promise, it isn't exploited to its full potential at all. Larraz can be accused of slow pacing in his films, but this might be the biggest offender. Literally nothing happens for the first hour. When it finally does, you only have 25 minutes left and, sadly, it isn't that thrilling.
