Overview

In The Traveller, Paul Naschy crafts a darkly playful tale where the devil himself chooses to walk among mortals, following in the steps of Christ—not for salvation, but for curiosity and sport. Taking earthly form, he roams the Spanish countryside, intent on testing human progress and stirring up as much mayhem as he can. His adventures revolve around seduction, particularly targeting women he encounters, blending elements of sex comedy with a backdrop of moral decay. The film leans into themes of temptation and decadence, making for a provocative and offbeat journey that sits at the intersection of drama and horror.
