In my head I always mix this title up with Mario Bava's HATCHET FOR THE HONEYMOON but this one is a little different then the standard ultra-stylish murder mystery that Bava is known for. It's also Spanish and not Italian and contains a more supernatural vampire angle or it might just be the story of a newlywed bride who's a little screwy in the head. This is kinda left up to the viewer's interpretation of events. It's got some gory bits(mostly in dreams/fantasies), blood-drinking, a little girl and guy's crotch gets shotgunned and a little lesbianism is thrown in for the perverts. The fantasy and the did they or didn't they happen?-dream sequences keep this one from being one of my favs but it has it's own cool Eurohorror vibe that makes it an OK watch but not up to the Bava quality.
Played on the frenzy of blood double feature with I DISMEMBER MAMA which had one of the strangest trailers ever made:
