I'd first heard this Spanish horror flick described as a mix of Mario Bava's RABID DOGS and TOMBS OF THE BLIND DEAD and while that's sorta true it's a bit more like the Bava movie mixed with a supernatural witch story and Lucio Fulci's THE BEYOND(which hadn't been released yet). It also predates SCANNERS with a crazy psychic head explosion. You get wacky pleather-coat-wearing bikers, a kid, dogs and an old lady getting offed, sex and exhibitionist masturbation in a church and some brief shuffling mummies which give you that BLIND DEAD feeling. An interesting smorgasbord of insane Eurotrash elements. If you don't find anything to like about this one you're probably lame. AKA FURTHER THAN FEAR
The Spanish poster rip-offs off the main figure in the poster for THE WITCH WHO CAME FROM THE SEA(which itself was ripped-off from a Frank Frazetta painting that was used as a cover for an issue of VAMPIRELLA magazine):
