Panic Beats has a well worn plot of a man trying to scare his rich wife into the grave so he can collect an inheritance. But he has a mistress or two, both of whom are rather conniving, and there are a few twists that he didn't count on. This plays out in a fairly standard manner and is predictable up to a point, but then there's a few surprises that don't quite fit the rest of the film (like one gory killing of one mistress by the other) and then when Naschy himself is killed his ancestors take over to wreak havoc. Not much here that one hasn't seen before but it's not terrible, just not one of the better films by Molina. Apparently he had rather a following that loved watching him play what is essentially the same character over and over again, so he does it quite well (lots of practice, I guess). The DVD has an extra on Spanish horror films and how Naschy (Molina) was instrumental in getting that movement going because the government in Spain under Franco was very oppressive, and that feature is rather interesting to watch. As for the movie though, it's merely mediocre, 6 out of 10.
