| Elisa Vela in Mansion of the Living Dead/La mansión de los muertos vivientes Year: 1983 Rates: *** |
Infamously campy Spanish Exploitation-Horror director Jesús Franco's MANSION OF THE LIVING DEAD is really a rural beachfront hotel where four beautiful women... two chunky-hot blondes and two perfect-bodied model brunettes... check into two different rooms, two at a time: each of the blondes kissing their own brunette — until the token first-girl wanders off alone...
As Mari Carmen Nieto far too quickly dies after happening upon a nearby monastery, which happens off-screen... providing looser blonde Albino Graziani an anticipated sacrifice/encounter with the titular medieval knight zombies straight from Amando de Ossorio's 1970's BLIND DEAD franchise (here resembling cheap skeleton mannequins created for a last-minute Halloween party)...

That other blonde Lina Romay survives by becoming violently possessed: intensely morphing into a formidable final girl murdering final friend (and one of the all-time sexiest Spanish actresses) Elisa Vela...
Having adhered to a central Gothic romance with handsome hotel manager Antonio Mayans (keeping another naked blonde locked in his room), overall scene-stealing Romany now haunts the hotel's eerily red-lit hallways — in a low-budget fantasy/slasher that's both tremendously shoddy and hypnotically mesmerizing.
