I have seen about a dozen of the Mexican horror films, and for the most part, they are truly bad because the English dubbing ruins whatever impact the original language had. At times, they seem to be parodies of the original story and not at all spooky. But in the case of this one, they got it right even with the English dubbing because you can't cheat what is nearly perfect and the English speaking actors who take on these roles seem to really be respecting with the original artists were doing.
A young woman is returning to her ancestral home and encounters a horrifying secret involving her ancestorage. She has an evil and who can fly like a demon, and is utilizing her to end the suffering along dead ancestor who was a witch. Laying in a skeletal state, all it would take would be the removal of a blade in her to bring the demon back, and as the evil aunt knows, a multitude of witches can create a lot of power for evil.
This is probably the second best foreign language Gothic horror film, the first of course being "Black Sunday". Everything about this film works in giving you chills whether it be the spirit of a witch who appears in front of the heroine in a mirror or an Igor like servant who does all of the witches' biding. Not one moment of this film disappoints. I usually rate versions of these Mexican films very low so to find one that is nearing a 10 out of 10, that makes it a great treat.
