All Movie Guide:
Darting first in one direction and then in another like a school of erratic fish, this film starts out (in 1956) focusing briefly on a Colombian military dictatorship and political terrorism then brings in the bourgeois class as co-conspirators in the dictatorship and next enters the bizarre lifestyle of a wealthy family fighting over the last testament of a just-deceased matriarch. From there, the family members are shown to have quite an incestuous relationship, and eventually vampires come into the picture, as well as unbridled slaughter. By that time, the neglected, wounded plot is beyond resuscitation.
