The SassyFlix Take

León Klimovsky puts his signature on this Spanish gothic blend where bloodlust meets yearning, and cryptic rituals seduce the doomed. Emma Cohen delivers the kind of performance only a haunted, love-struck aristocrat could, while the film doesn't shy away from its steamy, supernatural atmosphere.
