Gotho (Paul Naschy), a moronic hunchback employed in a hospital morgue, is deeply in love with Ilse (Mar'a Elena Arpón), but it's an ill-fated relationship. Ilsa is terminally ill with tuberculosis and dies shortly after. Out of his mind for the loss, Gotho steals her corpse, killing the medical students who are going to dissect it, and hides her in an underground crypt. Dr. Orla (Alberto Dalbés), a mad biologist, promises Gotho that he will revive Ilsa, but Gotho will have to provide him with dead - and live - bodies for his terrible experiments.

Certainly not uninteresting and with a nice atmosphere – though finding a Euro-horror flick without atmosphere is almost impossible. There are a couple of corpses, a mad doctor, a few rats, and Paul Naschy. I don’t regret watching it, but the exaggerated ratings promised more. 6/10

Yes indeed, Hunchback of the Morgue is really a combination of Frankenstein and The Hunchback of Notre Dame, but it has that retro horror-historical vibe that I find quite fitting. Moreover, the Spanish women are beautiful, and the masks are not bad either, although they don't really excel. Overall, a good film that pleased me with its concept.
