*Plot and ending analyzed*

This little film from Spain has a story to tell, too bad it takes place mostly in the beginning. It deals with hidden witches covens which are scattered throughout Sevile Spain and it has as its main character, a pseudo-intellectual who writes boring crossword puzzles for the main paper, "El Hergizito". Soon he finds himself in a mysterious world of terror which he can not fathom.

I was quite interested in the plot until the story became nothing more than a cliche taken from American films, and then it became just average on the whole.

Most of the derailment took place in a scene where there are numerous men in hoods shooting laser guns in a 'game" that really looks stupid, from there, we learn that the coven of 'Satanas" wants to destroy Seville.

The pseudo-intellectual's former roommate is the brainchild of a group of degenerate losers and misfits, whom he later blows up in another absurd scene, (why kill them off?).

The ending is typical and even expected, because he finds the evil guy and shoots him dead, and at the end, it was all just a novel, but then we aren't sure are we?
