This is a slightly funny movie with entertainment , amusement , lots of fun and bewildering happenings . The count of Capanegra : Josema Yuste and his chambelan : Millan Salcedo travel to a far Balcan country to take a fortune of his relative, Baron Somolskaia: Jose Martinez Blanco, who died suddenly due to a weird circumstance . They take a train and on board meet a beautiful woman, Nicole Darquier : the busty Ana Álvarez and the count falls for her and inviting her to stay at his new castle . But to get the inheritance , the count will have to suffer various distresses to obtain it .
Rightly enjoyable but average horror comedy which neatly combines humor , mirth , brief nudism and terrifying but fun events .The picture moves in fits and starts ,most of which would be desirable, with some moments frankly hilarious and others embarrassing and ridiculous . Humor is sometimes cheesy and gross-out with some naughty and picaresque situations including sex jokes and spicy scenes . Duo starring Josema Yuste and Milla Salcedo play in their usual style , giving laughters enough . They are well accompanied by a decent support cast , such as : Raul Fraire, Maria Elena Flores as a porter , Pilar Alcon , Raquel Rodrigo who was a famous star of the 40s , Cris Huerta and the famous terror icon Paul Naschy or Jacinto Molina playing his classic role as Wolfman Waldemar Daninsky .
The motion picture was regular but amusingly directed by Álvaro Saenz De Heredia. He is a expert on comedy movies, usuallly starred by known comical actors as Andrés Pajares in La Hoz Y Martinez , Emilio Aragon in Freddy El Croupier, Chiquito De La Calzada and Bigote Arroces in Aqui llega Codemor El Pecador De Pradera, Blacula , Condemor II , Papa Piquillo , R2 El Caso Cadáver Sin Cabeza with Javier Gurruchaga , Venganza de Ira Vamp with Josema Yuste ,Chiquito de La Calzada and El Robobo de la Joyoya and Aqui Huele Muerto with Martes Y Trece .

This is a great spanish comedy with the hilarious duo Martes y Trece (not together anymore). It has been a long time since I have seen this, but I do remember laughing constantly. From Dracula to Frankenstein we have it all in this over the top film. The ending left me wanting a bit more but overall this is a great comedy. In Spain around this time there were quite a few couple comedians such as "Cruz y raya", "El duo sacapuntas", "Faemino y Cansado" and the ones that started it all, "Martes y Trece". I remember every new years eve we had a new spacial from these two, and each and everyone of them was better. This movie, even though not the only one from duo comedians in Spain I believe to be one of the best. If anyone has a chance to check this out in the States, go for it, you will not be disappointed.
