In the eerie corridors of a decaying morgue, a hunchbacked attendant named Igor finds solace only in the gentle smile of a dying girl. Each day, he brings her flowers, but when death claims her, his fragile mind shatters—he believes she is merely sleeping. As her body is prepared for burial, Igor’s obsession spirals into a macabre ritual, dragging the living and the dead into a nightmare of gothic horror. This 1973 Spanish shocker blends tragic romance with grotesque terror, anchored by Paul Naschy’s haunting performance as a creature of both pity and dread.

User Reviews
GothicNightmare – 7/10
“The atmosphere is pure 70s Euro-horror gold – cold, clammy, and dripping with dread. Naschy's pathetic yet monstrous hunchback really got under my skin. Not perfect, but if you love old-school creepy morgue settings, it's a must-watch.”
ScarlettV – 5/10
“I appreciate the tragic angle, but the pacing dragged for me. Some scenes felt overly theatrical, and the gore was too sparse for my taste. Still, the morbid love story had a weird poetic pull. Worth a look if you're a Naschy fan.”
HorrorHound42 – 6/10
“It's a weird mix of sadness and shock value that mostly works. The morgue scenes are genuinely unsettling, and the ending really stuck with me. But the acting from the supporting cast was pretty wooden, and the plot twists felt a bit rushed.”
MidnightCreep – 8/10
“This is an underrated gem! The haunting score and Naschy's expressive face made the whole thing feel like a tragic fever dream. Sure, it's low-budget and a bit dated, but it's got a raw, emotional core that I didn't expect. Highly recommended for fans of classic Spanish horror.”
