With this episode we reach a true milestone -we have now
covered fifty of Paul Naschy's films over the past five years! It hasn't been
easy and it hasn't been perfect but we are proud of this accomplishment and we
hope everyone sticks around for year six.
When we started this show we knew this film would mark the
end of an era as it is the best of the movies Naschy made in the new millennium.
It is a well made, slick and sharp horror film that brings all of his genre
story obsessions to the 21st century brilliantly. One of the most interesting
elements of the film is how closely its details mirror its lead actor's life
and career. Naschy stars as the aging out-of-work actor named Pablo Thevenet who endures humiliating casting sessions and the disrespect and insults of
young directors and producers. Nearly broke and completely desperate he
agrees to accept an offer to be a doorman-entertainer for the upscale Pandora
Club run by the bizarre and very wealthy Mr. Reficul. But from the moment he
signs his employment contract things start to change for Pablo in ways he had
not anticipated.
