Late night Spanish horror
Has anyone else been following the "Six Films To Keep You Awake" series on BBC4? I thought they were generally excellent - though I haven't finished watching them yet.
Some great stories. I particularly liked the maniacal manager of a block of flats trapping young couples ("To Let") and the teenage boy haunted by a sexy witch ("Spectre")
Horror is a genre the Spanish "do" extremely well, in my opinion. They have an appreciation of sex, death and the grotesque; not surprising from the nation that produced Goya (think of "Tesis", "The Devil's Backbone" and "The Orphanage").
