El espejo de la bruja (A Witch’s Mirror)
Sara is a witch who works as the housekeeper to a deranged doctor prone to femicide. She communicates with ancient and omnipotent spirits through prayer and a magic mirror. Sara craves to avenge the death of her god- daughter and former wife of her employer. A delirious mélange of Rebecca , The Hands of Orlac , and Eyes Without a Face fused by the dark arts and gothic, romantic toxicity, this film is an unmissable yarn of physical and astral retribution.

This mercurial and lysergic adventure, which takes place in two different timelines and a crimson-colored netherworld, confirms that being a righteous enforcer for the Spanish Inquisition is dreadful. In his 25th film, Santo faces the spirit of a female devil worshiper who tried to kill his bloodline back in 1670. Now, in 1970, she possesses his fiancée. Watch out for Luciferian worship, witch burnings, heroic luchador Blue Demon under Satanic control, and stock footage of open-heart surgery.
