What might put you off
  • It's in Spanish, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Made in 1939: an older pace and style.

Two journalists, Carlos and Lola, investigate the murder of a young woman whose body appeared with her heart torn out, in what seems to be a human sacrifice. The investigation leads the reporters to a museum, whose director is the famous Doctor Gallardo.
