Somehow, completely by accident, I often find myself watching back-to-back films with very similar themes. I don't know how I did it this time, bouncing from a Golden Age of Hollywood medical drama to this, but here I am again writing about a film in which simple, uneducated, and superstitious folk distrust the scientific approach to medical treatment. This one, certainly more in the exploitative vein, is a Spanish drama about a new doctor taking over an insane asylum for women and advancing his new-fangled, liberal approach, i.e. psychiatry, when the townspeople are accustomed to just beating and otherwise abusing the inmates. The grande dame of the community is all hot and bothered by the doctor and promises to smooth…

It's all talk and no pea soup in this very tedious Spanish asylum drama which only has a sprinkling of sleaze and exploitation. Psychiatrist Dr Fuso brings his modern clinical methods to an old-fashioned town , where he's helping to assess and cure the women who are incarcerated in the local nut-house. He's drawn towards a sort of bargain basement Mia Farrow, who seems particularly insane. She's also drawn towards him, in a lustful way, but she has competition in the form of the widowed asylum president, who's almost comically desperate for male attention. And there's pretty much nothing in the entire film to get excited about. "Exorcism's Daughter", indeed... it's not even an Exorcist rip-off, having been released two…

This Spanish period piece horror tinted drama from director Rafael Moreno Alba(DREAM KISS) is actually more in the style of ONE FLEW THE COOKOO'S NEST than THE EXORCIST as it deals with life inside an all women asylum that a young lady(Analia Gade[MURDER MANSION,LOVE LETTERS OF A NUN]) is tossed into due to the emotional trauma that is suffering from the results of when her supposedly demonic possessed mother dies during an a failed attempt at an exorcism,with a kindly doctor(Francisco Rabel[DAGON,SORCERER]) struggling with all of his might to complete cure her of what psychological issues are deeply troubling her as Gade struggles with keeping herself alive while the various women inside of the asylum repeatedly taunt her(as well as…

On-screen and disc title: HOUSE OF INSANE WOMEN, which is a much more appropriate title than what is listed here. Less an exploitation movie and more of a sad plea for tolerance and sympathy toward the mentally ill. The Code Red Blu-ray looks good. There does seem to be some incorrect ordering of scenes in the first reel. That doesn’t interfere with the experience of watching the film; rather it adds to the nostalgic grindhouse movie-watching experience. Surprisingly compelling.

Ugh, 93 straight minutes that go nowhere. Not so much a horror film, but an unentertaining sleazy asylum film that does however have an epic score to be wasted on unimaginative psychobabble that includes all the cliches of the genre aka lesbian bathing scenes.
