Muñecos infernales (1961)
Enjoyable movie best viewed in the original uncut Spanish version
To the best of my knowledge, this movie is available on DVD only in the original Spanish language version or the American International dubbed version. My BCI Crypt of Terror Vol. 2 set claims to have the original Spanish version with English subtitles, but this turned out not to be the case. Even though I am not fluent in Spanish, the original version is the one to check out and the Spanish version boasts a much clearer image (the VCI Entertainment DVD has both versions). Also, the dubbed version eliminates some key scenes which I think make the story more cohesive. To begin with, the American version doesn't as clearly portray the fact that the souls of the murdered men are being drawn by the voodoo priest into the puppet dolls. The dolls are supposed to portray the faces of the murdered men, and also contain their captured souls. A scene involving the blonde nurse shows this most clearly, but is missing from the American version. I love Mexican horror movies of the 1950s and 1960s, and even though this has its flaws, it is among my favorites. Definitely worth checking out, for those who appreciate moody, cheesy black and white horror films. Enjoy!
