¡Zarpazos! Un viaje por el spanish horror (2014)

Documentary

In the late sixties, Spanish cinema began to produce a huge amount of horror genre films: international markets were opened, the production was continuous, a small star-system was created, as well as a solid group of specialized directors. Although foreign trends were imitated —Hammer Productions' Gothic horror is a paramount influence—, Spanish horror offered a particular approach to sex, blood and violence. It was an extremely unusual artistic movement in Franco's Spain.
