Vault Note

Wherever Monica goes, murder and nudity are sure to follow—business as usual for 1976 Spain.

Programmer's Pick

When marital drama collides with murder and boardroom backstabbing, you know you're in for a Spanish giallo with attitude. Death Haunts Monica serves up decadent nudity, a live sex show, and more jealousy than a Hitchcockian fever dream. For those who want their mysteries with a side of Euro-sleaze, this one's a prime cut.
