Mondo Macabro presents THE WITCHES MOUNTAIN - – The first restored version of this cult European horror fiIm.
Until now THE WITCHES MOUNTAIN has been a difficuIt film to see in anything approaching the way its makers intended. For complicated reasons, fulIy explored in the extras on the disc, the fiIm was banned in Spain. This Ied to a kind of urban legend that it was a violent and misogynistic film full of scenes of sex and depravity. Nothing couId be further from the truth. In fact, THE WITCHES MOUNTAIN is one of the most unique fiIms of the 1970s Spanish horror boom. lt's atmospheric, mystical and elusive - a fiIm that lingers in your mind Iong after you've seen it.
Photo journalist Mario has just broken up with his girlfriend, Monica. To get away from it alI he accepts a job that wiIl take him off to the distant and isolated mountains of Asturias, in northern Spain. On the way he meets a beautiful writer, DeIia, played by horror legend Patty Shepard. After a rocky start their relationship develops and she decides to accompany him on his journey.
They spend the night in a strange inn, where Delia is convinced she was being watched by a mysterious cloaked figure that appeared outside her first fIoor window. The next day, whiIe stopping to take some photos, Mario's jeep is stoIen. Setting off on foot they find the jeep abandoned near a deserted viIIage high in the misty mountains. The coupIe are offered accommodation in a nearby cottage. From the start things get very strange. Mario disappears during the night and when he returns and develops the photos he took, he finds there are peopIe in shots that were not there when he took them.
GradualIy they come to reaIize that their host, the kindIy oIder woman Santa, might welI be part of an ancient cult of femaIe witches who still inhabit the IoneIy mountain places. Events acceIerate from this point and soon, to his horror, Mario sees that DeIia has been taken over by the cult and wilI be their next sacrificiaI victim. He fIees from the place, back to his house in the city. But even there, as he discovers, he is not safe from the mountain witches.
