Relatos del fantástico

About This Movie

Relatos del fantástico is a fascinating look back at Spanish genre cinema through the lens of its prominent figures. The documentary weaves together an interview with Paul Naschy, whose presence in horror is palpable, and Amando de Ossorio, a master of the undead. The atmosphere is nostalgic, tinged with a sense of loss for what was never preserved. The pacing draws you in, allowing the anecdotes and insights to breathe, giving you time to really absorb the weight of their contributions. It's a shame that much of the footage is lost, but what remains feels vital, almost like a conversation with ghosts of cinema. The practical effects and performances discussed resonate with fans who appreciate the craftsmanship of the era.
