Jess Franco&rsquo;s 1971 German-Spanish production is a horror film in the loosest possible sense — a Dracula riff with the fear surgically removed and mood pumped in to fill the cavity. What remains is a slow, sun-drenched trance about a woman drawn across the water toward a countess who lives on an island, told in zoom lenses and reflected light and one of the most hypnotic pop scores of the era. For decades it was a bootleg-tape rumour among Eurocult obsessives. It deserves the wider audience it eventually found.</p>Wed, 16 Apr 2025 12:00:00 +0000
