Poster for the movie La marca del muerto

La marca del muerto (1961)

A mad scientist abducts and kills women to perform experiments using their blood, in a quest for immortality, but he is captured and pays the penalty for his many crimes. Many years later, his grandson becomes obsessed with his grandfather’s research and begins his own crime spree to revive his ancestor. Fairly slow-paced, but occasionally of interest, particularly with regard to the grandson’s odd behavior as he becomes devoted to his experimentation, the grandfather’s experience of the modern world, and the evolution of the relationship between the two family scientists.

  Mildly recommended. Otto judiciously thinks this movie is OK, but not great.

Movie 278 for 2021.
