    I'd like to see Esteba's director's cut of this, which was released only in Spain as far as I know. Italian version re-edited by Pannaccio is the one that was dubbed to English.

    Greek tape has onscreen title "You Are a Carrion and Y Will Kill You"

  4. Thanks. Found a rather long synopsis in an often very useful database here:

    http://www.comingsoon.it/Film/Scheda/Trama/?key=9872&film=SEI-UNA-CAROGNA...-E-T-AMMAZZO!

    a site, that offers some contemporary reviews sometimes, too (all in Italian).
