This is a fairly creepy yet mostly tame Spanish production about two wacko sisters that run an inn and carry out moral judgements against young women that dress in mini-skirts (or have their breasts exposed). In other words, they are old fashioned and rather jealous of modern styles that don't look good on them? Or maybe they're just nuts. I think they're just nuts. Of course they're famous for their specialty of the house, which I guess is "lamb" cooked in red wine. Beautiful young tourists check in but "left very early" if anyone asks. This is OK entertainment but nothing too gruesome or intense. I guess an unintentional garnish on the plate of one guest is their undoing. Not bad for 1970 but not great, worth seeing if you're a Euro-horror fan but not really for anyone else. 7 out of 10. It is available on DVD in a collection, the quality is OK (as in, I guess, not digitally remastered) but rest assured it's not Alpha Video so it is watchable.
