ESPRITISMO 1962 (VCI)

Interesting Mexican horror film.

This is by far the best print of this film I have ever seen. VCI brings us this Mexican horror tale based on the "Monkey's Paw" story.

This version isn't in English nor does it have subtitles, but if you know the story you can easily follow it. A Mexican man and wife have some problems and the wife is a very strong believer in spiritualism.

She is given a key by a spirit during one of the seances and three wishes. The key opens a "pandora's box" and that is where the trouble starts.

The ending is quite interesting and I enjoyed it. There are a few slow spots in this film, but stay with it. Not too bad even if it's not in English. This was out many, many years ago on DVD and the print was in English, but the quality was far below what I expected.

Thanks to VCI for making this rather obscure Mexican thriller available.
