Overall, I thought the film was good, a little corny in spots but still entertaining. Out of Paul's multiple roles in the film I liked his portrayal of Kantaka the best, who I consider to be one of the best villains I have seen in a Naschy film. One rather amusing thing that I noticed when I was watching the film was the train station manager who gets killed off by Kantaka reminded me alot of actor/director Woody Allen. Did anyone else notice this? WolfViewer.

The English style detective elements along with the pop-jazz soundtrack were a nice blend with the wacko horror stuff and giallo stylings. Naschy was great.

Exceptional cast of Naschy regulars including the always gorgeous Mirta Miller and Aurora De Alba. It's just too weird for me in parts and the music just totally wrecks whatever appreciation I have left for the film. I hate to say this as I am a Naschy freak. Still glad to have the fine release of the film from BCI.

Certainly one of his I've watched the most. I love everything about it, from the babes, to the music and especially the weirdness. And the BCI disc is so beautiful to watch, very colorful. I never will tire of VOTZ. I wish that somebody would put out a soundtrack album.

Love the satanic ritual scene with Naschy as the Devil! The only thing I don't like about the film is the music. While the music is cool on it's own, it doesn't fit the film at all, and really detracts from the imagery in certain scenes. I guess in a way it adds to the films off-kilter vibe, but I couldn't help imaging a proper orchestral score under the spookier moments of the film, and how much it would have added to the creepy factor. Love the excessive use of extreme wide angle lenses in this one! The shot of the zombie chick leaning over the girl in the bed and coming closer, and closer, and closer is just freaky!
