Human Beasts

Another Paul Naschy film in which all the ladies can’t resist his barrel-chested charms. This one starts off in Japan and then, rather than explore its exotic location possibilities, goes right back to a Spanish countryside manor. Naschy is a double-crossing jewel thief who is nursed to health at a family pig farm complete with a pair of farmer’s daughters vying for his interests. Eventually this becomes a black-gloved killer movie and starts to jump between elements of thriller, crime film and horror. I thought it was quite entertaining despite the lead character laying in a bed most of the time.
