This Spanish film has no ravens — its

This Spanish film has no ravens — its title translates as The Swamp of the Ravens — but instead black vultures. It's about Dr. Frosta, who believes that life can continue after death and will do anything to take that hypothesis and transform it into a theory. There's also a guy singing to mannequins and the doctor trying to use blood to keep his girlfriend alive but he continues to take her to 6th base, as they say. Thanks to Mandrakegrey on Letterboxd, I can share those lyrics: "Never, never will you fly from me Lifeless heart that doesn't beat after all I have such feelings for a dead robot Wherever you may find yourself I wish you were dead My own robot, my own, my lady" It seems like every time the scientist kills people and brings them back from the dead and gets rid of the results, they come back from the dead again. There's some strange imagery here and the story never really adds up, but you know, I was kind of really entertained by all of this. So I guess it's a zombie film, but it could also be an attempt at art. Director Manuel Caño also made Voodoo Black Exorcist, which sounds just as odd as this movie, so I have to track that one down now as well. Writer Santiago Moncada was the pen behind such oddball efforts as The Corruption of Chris Miller, Cutthroats 9, Hatchet for the Honeymoon, The Fourth Victim, All the Colors of the Dark, Ricco, A Bell from Hell, Curse of the Black Cat, Rest In Pieces and many more. Knowing that made me realize why I felt like I liked this movie more than the other reviewers I've seen online have.

Swamp of the Ravens is worth a watch

Swamp of the Ravens is worth a watch if you stumble upon it somewhere. It has a very cool look and gets creepy at times. But other things are almost unbearable and cause the film to fall short of being entertaining.

The Swamp of the Ravens (AKA El Pantano

The Swamp of the Ravens (AKA El Pantano de los cuervos) is a Spanish film from 1974 dubbed over in English. First things first, this is NOT a good movie. It's not even a good bad movie. What it is is a horribly boring movie. I expected a lot more from it, especially considering that the plot revolves around a mad scientist trying to revive dead people, but alas, that wasn't the case. It reminded me a lot of Manos: The Hands of Fate actually, but even worse. Whereas Manos had a plot with a beginning, middle and ending, this film doesn't. It feels more like a fever dream than anything else, but it didn't do anything more than put me to sleep. Rifftrax recently did a riffing on it, but even they couldn't improve it. It's a just a boring movie.
