PLOT SUMMARY

A documentary about the director Amando de Ossorio.

CAPSULE REVIEW

Given the unusualness of its subject, this is a fascinating and valuable documentary featuring interviews with those who knew and worked with de Ossorio, inculding Hispanic horror legend Jack Taylor. It's an all-encompassing and thorough look at a director who really whould have been a lot better known than he was.
