The film gets off to a good start, with a little bit of homicidal role reversal as a “Scream” mask wearing would-be peeping tom ends up being brutally dispatched whilst trying to scare some naked girls. The viewer is then introduced to the killer and the film’s protagonist, the murderous Barbara (Macarena Gómez, who genre fans may recognise from “Romasanta: The Werewolf Hunt “and Stuart Gordon’s “Dagon”), a glamorous, fashionista medical student, who also just happens to be a very active serial killer. As the bodies start piling up at the university, everyone is soon talking about the dreaded Campus Killer, not least since the police seem to be completely without a clue. Meanwhile, Barbara falls in with Tomas (César Camino, “La Fiesta”), a shy fellow mortuary worker and student who she also believes to be a killer. Whilst this is not actually the case, Tomas does have a secret of his own, a machine designed to translate brainwaves into images, which also has the useful side benefit of being able to reanimate the dead. Obviously, this isn’t great news for Barbara, as her victims are brought back to life, more than a little angry at her, not to mention hungry for human flesh. —eatmybrains.com
