During the years of transition of horror film in México, from the bizarre movies, sometimes surreal, sometimes baroque that was produced in the 1950s-60s to the "cinéma de qualité" made by Carlos Enrique Taboada, «Satanás de todos los horroeres» was released, a not bad, little known adaptation of Edgar Allan Poe's «The Fall of the House of Usher», although I may say it is more a rehash of Richard Matheson's screenplay for the 1960 version directed by Roger Corman. Although no credit is acknowledged, screenwriter Alfredo Ruanova and director Julián Soler lifted several scenes from Matheson's script, and even shots from Corman's mise-en-scene, and mix it all with a Satanist subplot foreign to Poe.
