Overview

In this notorious slice of Argentine sex-horror, a string of bizarre kidnappings grips the city as people caught in the act—lovers, hippies, and even strippers—are abducted by a grotesque monster and whisked away in a hearse. Enter George, a dogged reporter, and Inspector Benedict, who join forces to unravel the twisted mystery behind the disappearances. Their investigation leads through smoky clubs, shocking police sketches, and a pharmacy run-in with the lurking beast. But when George gets too close and is captured himself, he finds an unlikely ally in fellow captive Rachel, and together they plot against their enigmatic captors. The film is a surreal blend of pulp sci-fi and unabashed sexploitation, with a uniquely Latin American flavor.
