REVIEWS (1)
In a small village in France, young women disappear without a trace. A journalist decides to investigate and discovers that the strange disappearances seem to be linked to a mysterious lake at the bottom of which, during World War II, the inhabitants made the bodies of a platoon of killed Nazis disappear. Violence and especially explicit nudity absolutely gratuitous for a horror film in perfect Jesus Franco style; in fact, the film, although "officially" directed by a certain Jean Rollin, was written and produced by the Spanish director who left, inevitably, his mark. There are those who consider Franco a "master" of the genre, and those who think it is just a "clever craftsman" who has understood that by making and producing low-cost sexy horror films he could gain a certain fame. Watching films of this kind, it is inevitable to lean towards the second hypothesis.
