The premise
A pretty young Mexican girl returns to her hometown to make funeral arrangements for her beloved aunt, who has just died. Soon she begins to hear disturbing stories about the town being infested by vampires, and she eventually begins to suspect that her remaining aunt and the mysterious next-door neighbor may be involved.
Horror Vault's take
A young woman travels to her rural Mexican hometown to bury her aunt, only to find the grieving community gripped by whispered fears of vampiric evil lurking nearby. As she settles in, unsettling rumors and strange behavior from those closest to her force her to question who — or what — she can truly trust. This 1957 Mexican Gothic gem draws its dread from mounting paranoia and shadowy atmosphere rather than outright shock, placing it firmly in the tradition of classic Universal-era horror. Germán Robles cuts an elegant, menacing figure that helped define the Latin American vampire archetype.
