The People Who Own The Dark/Último deseo - 1976 Spain d:León Klimovsky
Really pretty bloody good mid-70s horror-SF from people more familar for less well accomplished but better known films than this.
This has a superb and very creepy atmosphere and the cast are really very decent indeed. It riffs on better known films (Night Of The Living Dead, The Omega Man) but definitely has its own bleak charm.
Code Red's release is somewhat apologetic, but without it this would probably be a lost film, and that would be a tragedy as this is a cracking genre piece. It comes very highly recommended by me. Pretty damned essential I'd say, actually.
