Sale por fin de la mano de Mondo Macabro a primeros de 2022.
Arrow sacó el vinilo hace unos años, lo compré esperando su lanzamiento en BD de la misma editora pero nunca salió.
Segunda Guerra Mundial. Un hotel, en otro tiempo balneario, a las orillas de un lago próximo a la frontera italo-suiza. La señorita Julia, hija de los dueños del hotel, ayuda a su madre en los quehaceres diarios. Son pocos los clientes y el trabajo no es excesivo, circunstancia que es aprovechada por Julia para estudiar. El padre de Julia, hombre tosco y cobarde, vive oculto en una buhardilla del hotel, escondiéndose de sus compañeros, a quienes traicionó cuando aún era capitán de la fuerza aérea italiana.

HOTEL FEAR aka PENSIONE PAURA (Italy/Spain, 1976)
The story takes place in Italy towards the end of World War Two, in a run-down hotel on the shore of a large lake. A strange assortment of guests are staying there. They seem to be either suffering from mental illness, involved in scams of one sort or another, or hiding from something in their past.
Rosa, a teenage girl played by Lenora Fani, works with her mother, Marta, trying to keep the hotel functioning. Due to the war and the frequent bombing raids that take place, the hotel is on its last legs and even finding food for the guests is a major problem. Rosa writes letters to send to her father who is off fighting in the war.
Rosa’s mother dies unexpectedly, and suddenly the girl finds herself at the mercy of the sexually rapacious and insane hotel guests. After a vicious rape by two of the guests, Rosa despairs. She calls on her absent father to avenge her. And it seems her call is answered when the two guests die violently at the hands of a masked, gloved killer. But who really is this mystery assassin? And is Rosa losing her grip on reality?
This was director Francesco Barilli’s second feature film, after the highly regarded PERFUME OF THE LADY IN BLACK. Due to distribution problems the film has been hard to see. It has never been released in the US before and this is its world premiere on Blu-ray.
