Description: Laura hitches a ride on Fred’s motorcycle. While crossing a valley they become lost in thick fog.They are nearly run down by a phantasmagoric Rolls-Royce and encounter Elsa, whose car has crashed. She was terrified by two strange figures who came looming out of the mist. By an old cemetery they discover an abandoned village and a creepy mansion. Stranded by the fog, they are forced to seek refuge for the night…
Despite an undemanding plot which could have come from the Old Dark House era or even Scooby-Doo, this is a surprisingly entertaining horror-thriller. The fright figures (intentionally?) recall Tor Johnson and Vampira, the cemetery is a gratifyingly eerie affair, and the Murder Mansion itself is tastefully decked out with visions of hell by Hieronymous Bosch. Moreover, the film benefits from a reliable cast of character actors, most of whom end up playing dead by the violent conclusion. Even Marcello Giombini’s old-style score is creepily captivating.
