aka la senora muerte.The Death Woman. Mrs Death."To survive you must kill!"
A mad scientist (John Carradine) teams with the evil and disfigured Marlene (Regina Torné) in an attempt to make her look beautiful again, and to restore her dead husband's life. To do so they set about kidnapping and operating on young women.
Torné makes for a great femme fatale, the film concentrating on her torment, but Carradine's presence tilts the film off kilter, moving it from a proto Giallo, into a 50's drive-in horror, making the film seem more like two separate projects mashed together.
