The Murder Mansion

  • Title: La mansión de la niebla
  • IMDb: link

The 1972 Spanish-Italian horror-thriller traps a group of travelers in a mansion so far off the beaten path that the locals are unaware of its existence. Director Francisco Lara Polop‘s hit-and-miss story offers a bit of a convoluted setup, and some well-timed mysterious fog, to get a drifter (Andrés Resino), a hitchhiker (Lisa Leonardi), a prick (Franco Fantasia), an heiress (Analía Gadé), and a lawyer (Eduardo Fajardo) and his wife (Yelena Samarina) all to this lonely, although well-kept, mansion owned by a woman who may, or may not, be a vampire (Ida Galli).
