Synopsis:
Beneath the relentless sun of a picturesque Spanish village, two sisters preside over a boarding house where religious and sexual repression, masked by fanatical morality, hide a chilling secret. Young, uninhibited foreign tourists arrive—displaying a nakedness and freedom at odds with the village's rigid rules—and their presence ignites a slow-burning tension. When Laura Barkley (Judy Geeson) comes to the village searching for her missing sister, she is drawn into a web of suspicion and mounting dread. As guests begin to disappear, the sisters' twisted sense of virtue unravels, exposing the darkness festering behind the village's tranquil facade.
From horror master Eugenio Martín ( Horror Express ), A Candle for the Devil (aka It Happened at Nightmare Inn , 1973) is a fascinating, feverish blend of Giallo-esque suspense and razor-sharp social criticism, targeting the suffocating moral codes and authoritarian shadows cast by Franco's Spain. Acclaimed by genre devotees as “an underseen gem” and “a must for any Euro-horror collection,” this cult favorite finally blazes onto 4K UHD—uncut and more stunning than ever, restored from the original camera negative for the very first time, and packed with a wealth of brand new and archival extras.
