This is a 1968 sci-fi horror directed by Jack Hill and Juan Ibanez, written by Jack Hill and Luis Enrique Vergara. The stars includes Boris Karloff, Julissa and Carlos East.
A team of scientists discover a living rock deep in a volcanic tunnel. This rock is kept in a lab, where it's able to eat and also communicate. However, young women are offered promise of work and living accommodation but they're sacrificial victims to the growing greedy monster in the secret lab. A bunch of weird characters support the chamber of horrors of are nightmarish to the unwilling frightened women.
This is the last film Boris Karloff made, but other films he appeared in were released at a similar time. Many of the voices are dubbed in English. The paintings shown in the bedroom come from artist Francisco Goya. This was a very strange creepy film that gave confusing messages, from Satanic to scientific, with horrible nightmarish scenes, including torture and a woman being trapped in a room with snakes and spiders. No ratings from the time but I give this a 4/10.
