PANICO
Joaquin
Cordero (DR
SATAN) joins Ariadna Weltor and Ofelia Montesco
in this story of infidelity and murder. Husband Julio and Maria have purchased
a new home, a deserted mansion far from civilization. This old but beautiful
mansion was previously owned by a woman who lost her entire family in
a car crash. Apparently she had slowly gone insane, mysteriously dying
in chains five years previous. The new owners are a bit apprehensive of
their new place, but it was such a good price... Yet Maria suffers from
a weak heart and she is soon overwhelmed by the atmosphere. After she
suffers from a mild stroke, her husband speeds off to fetch a doctor.
However, this only gives an intruder the opportunity to further assault
Maria and scare her to death.
NOTE:
Do not confuse this film with another Mexican omnibus called PANICOwhich also stars Joaquin Codero.

MIEDO SUPREMO [SUPREME FEAR]
a
This
is a surreal horror tale dealing with claustrophobia), the concepts of
terror, fright, anxiety and - ultimately - dread. It opens with New York
doctor Javier Medina visiting the mausoleum of his late sweetheart, buried
in a Mexican catacomb six months earlier. It is almost closing time and
Javier has only a few minutes to pay his respects. While reminiscing,
he is distracted by another burial ceremony nearby. Feeling agitated,
Javier faints. He awakes to find everyone gone and the doors locked for
the night. However, Javier hears unmistakable female cries from deep inside
one of the tombs.
This
is the only film directed by Ramon Obon. He is better known as a writer
and scripter, responsible for many of Mexico's greatest horror films including
SHE-WOLF
(La Loba), WORLD
OF VAMPIRES, LIVING
COFFIN, BLACK
PIT OF DR M, and THE
VAMPIRE. He would die from a heart attack shortly after the completion
of this movie, December 1965, at age 47.
