Edition screened: Vinegar Syndrome Blu-ray #294, released 2019. Spanish language with English subtitles. Runtime approximately 86 minutes.
Summary: Horrible murder of a toad.
Details:
1) A caged bird is found dead, the body removed and held through dialogue, 40:46-41:22.
2) A large live toad sitting in a small box is repeatedly stabbed with a knife until dead, 50:24-50:42. Just horrible, with no cutaways until the poor creature stops moving.
The brutal and sadistic murder of the poor toad is inexcusable. If the director had not lowered himself to this action, Secta Siniestra would be a somewhat enjoyable and outrageous Fulci-style re-telling of Rosemary’s Baby.
