Horror thriller directed and staged very well by Larraz who, through aesthetic care and visual strength, manages to give tension and atmosphere. Valerie is a young model who witnesses a murder together with her boyfriend Terry, but while she manages to escape her boyfriend will remain missing, amid anxieties, the murderer who shows he knows where Valerie lives, she will meet and fall in love with Paul, who together with his "aunt" designs and makes masks, which is already saying a lot given the the object in question and what it means, in addition, Larraz's trademark, Paul and his aunt have a rather disturbingly morbid relationship. The Bavian influences are noticeable, it is always a nice sight, many blues, purples and reds that embellish the staging, the photography and manage to create atmosphere. Valerie's initial escape at night, with the photography all in blue, the girl in the car junkyard in the fog offers an excellent sequence. Blue is a very present color in the film, Larraz inserts it to create anxiety, the many night scenes are excellent, the sequence where Valerie climbs the stairs is beautiful and atmospheric and the camera moves backwards with slow camera movements until it shows the entrance of a man. There is no shortage of subjective shots typical of the genre, the killer advancing but also Valerie herself who secretly observes the murder at the beginning of the film even if she is unable to see or understand who the killer is. Interesting how Valerie, a model, is photographed, her images are included in the albums, therefore she is a girl in "sight" concept, that of sight, of seeing, recalled precisely from the subjective views of Valerie who saw the murder but not the murderer. The eccentric new neighbor Horby, has a disturbing aura, raises pigeons, Larraz's direction first shows them fluttering but Read all
