Clawing! A Journey Through the Spanish Horror

Directed by Víctor Matellano

With Ángel Agudo, Carlos Aguilar, José Luis Alemán, Colin Arthur and Joe Dante

In the late sixties, Spanish cinema began to produce a huge amount of horror genre films: international markets were opened, the production was continuous, a small star-system was created, as well as a solid group of specialized directors. Although foreign trends were imitated, Spanish horror offered a particular approach to sex, blood and violence. It was an extremely unusual artistic movement in Franco's Spain.
