Review of The Witches Mountain (Monte de las
brujas, El)
In this fabulous film a young couple is traveling through the Pyranees. They
find themselves staying overnight at an ancient castle. During the night they
discover, quite to their surprise, that the castle is actually acting as
somewhat of a headquarters for a group of witches. As you can imagine, things
only become more and more interesting from there.
Directing, characterization and acting are all quite good in The Witches
Mountain, combined with some great photography. All in all, the scene is set
quite well for a horror flick that will keep you on the edge of your seat from
beginning to end.
The entire film is extremely tense, leaving you guessing throughout the film.
While there are some extremely tense moments throughout the movie, the ending
takes place quite satisfactorily. Patty Shepherd portrays one of the main
characters in the film and does a very admirable job of it. Her character is one
of the main highlights throughout the entire film. She actually went on to
become somewhat of a star in movies of this genre.
