Under the volcano, researchers found a special living substance – a stone. In order to keep the stone alive, girls are kidnapped. They are killed in the most brutal torture. This is necessary in order to extract the fear hormones that feed the strange substance.
One of the last Mexican-American films starring Boris Karloff. The legend of horror films plays the “chief inquisitor”, and part-time and the chief scientist. Since we are talking about low-budget co-production, then for filming in the United States, so as not to spend money on moving, a special director was allocated - Jack Hill.
As a result, like many other films of Jack Hill, the cinema, despite the expected template, is quite “seeable”. This is due to the ease of Hill's cinematic language - it is simple and understandable.
At the same time, the striptease scene can be considered a classic of the genre.
As an additional bonus, you can add a very realistic plot and participation in the film by Boris Karloff.
