Damn, this one was a difficult find. The only copy I can across was a couple of pixels but I work with what I can. (There really weren't many horror movies released in 1950!)
This one was fun! A very Freud-tinged, proto-giallo, Mexican murder mystery — with some rather cool hypnotic dream sequences. Sure, it's a premise we've probably all seen before (most likely about a decade on), but it's intriguing to see where all these tropes arose initially.
I'd love to see a proper restoration of this one day!
