Atmospheric cinematography
23 December 2022
Cinematographer Juan Gelpi gave this otherwise mediocre production a fittingly creepy "look". He also did two other productions where he worked as DP that I remember from my youth: "That Man in Istanbul" and "They Came to Rob Las Vegas". Interestingly, they were both directed by the same man: Antonio Isasi-Isasmendi.

I remember these European productions as totally entertaining to my young sensibilities. Those movies, as myself then, were of those times so such movies have to be taken in the context of the zeitgeist then. Audiences then had no problem with "slow going" narratives or sparsely placed action sequences which, now, have to be liberally strewn all over the screen to sustain viewers' attention.
