La Mansión de la niebla (1972)
Italian / Spanish interpretation on the classic old dark house thriller, in which a disparate group of people wind up at an old mansion one dark night. Part giallo and part supernatural horror, this ensemble piece starring Ida Galli and Anal?*a Gadé is a terrifically atmospheric take on a well worn Gothic formula.
Lacking the usual tropes of bloody violence and nudity so familiar in Italian and Spanish horror at the time, La Mansión de la niebla (translated as The Mansion in the fog aka Murder Mansion) really does hark back to classic Corman Gothic thrillers and of course James Whale's The Old Dark House (1932) with some eerie graveyard sequences not to mention all round ghostliness.
Does anyone know of a good print of this film because my dvd is quite poor in places?
