La torre de los siete jorobados (1944)

 English title: The Tower of the Seven Hunchbacks

A young man has visions of the ghost of an archeologist who helps him win at the roulette in exchange for doing him a favor. The young man gets acquainted with the dead man's niece, who is under the spell of a mysterious man.


This is a collection of tropes from fantastic novels and movies from the 19th and early 20h century and feels like an affectionate send-up of those works. The imagery is quite atmospheric, and overall the film is entertaining.

Rating: 51
