Horror Rises from the Tomb/
El Espanto surge de la tumba (1976)
|
Alaric De Marnac is a medieval French warlock who is put to death, with his mistress, by the local townsfolk for devil worship. However, before they die, Alaric and his mistress promise that they will get their revenge. 500 years later, that time comes a few friends, one of which is a descendant of the Alaric family, attends a séance and gets the vibe of the ghost. They end up resurrecting the dead knight who wants to kill everyone in the town.
Overall: Well I caught the “Un-Cut” version, which sure beats the “Clothed Version.” Although taking almost 52 minutes to even see nudity, it’s fairly plentiful towards the end. And the mistress spends the entire film wearing a see-through black sheet that seems rarely to even stay on her body. As for the plot, it’s really just a bunch of junk. It’s got zombies, vampires, witches and a few other things and none of it was connected to anything else. And the acting is pathetic...not necessarily the way they deliver their lines since my version was dubbed. It’s their body movements. The zombies looked disinterested and frankly the possession sequences look silly. Bottom line is the bad guys die, get resurrected, take over people’s bodies and eventually seduce a few people for no apparent reason. But there’s nudity!
