| Title: NIGHT OF THE HOWLING BEAST/La maldición de la bestia Year: 1975 Rating: ***1/2 |
In the 1975 exploitation/horror EXORCISM, tall beauty Mercedes Molina gets possessed by a demon, and priest Paul Naschy has to help... while in the same year's NIGHT OF THE HOWLING BEAST aka THE WEREWOLF AND THE YETI, she has to help him after a monstrous transformation...
How it happens is rather complicated, all during a snowy expedition to a hidden cavern where the legendary Yeti (Abominable Snowman) dwells... as Naschy's rogue adventurer is trapped in a cavern with two gorgeous nymphs, which sounds like a problem you want to have... but he winds up turning into a familiar monster for the Spanish actor that's played them all...

Hence THE WEREWOLF, who only sporadically appears running around in the snow, killing various antagonists... like a rapist who attacked his true love, Molina, who, backed by gorgeous girl-next-door Verónica Miriel, is part of another exploration team: making this BEAST seem like two separate stories that never really connect...
Until the action-packed finale that provided the most blood of any Naschy picture thus far... and while the clean film print is more aesthetically liken to a TV-movie than the kind of grainy Spanish horrors that adorned the 1970's, this 11th hour cram-session of sword battles and last-minute rescues (where a suddenly intrepid Mercedes battles evil vixen Silvia Solar) keeps this NIGHT from becoming yet another hokey howler.
