La Mansion De La Niebla (aka The Murder Mansion) (1972)

When a dense fog makes visibility impossible, a disparate group of travelers find a haven in the mysterious mansion of a beautiful woman (Ida Galli). But when people start dying, the travelers wonder if they wouldn't be safer out in the fog. Directed by Francisco Lara Polop, I found this Spanish horror movie somewhat incoherent. I watched the English language dub ( a poor transfer) rather than the Italian/Spanish cut so that may account for some of the incoherence. As a horror film, it's a dud. There's no sense of atmosphere and the characters' hysteria seems overblown. If I saw a better print, it may look better but I suspect it would still be a poor movie. It's the kind of movie where the characters have every opportunity to escape the house but inexplicably stick around to be picked off. With Analia Gade, Lisa Leonardi, Andres Resino, Franco Fantasia and Alberto Dalbes.
