This is a Mexican 1968 horror thriller directed by Juan Ibanez and Jack Hill. The stars includes Boris Karloff, Andres Garcia and Julissa.
A woman was found dead and the mystery unfolds. Relatives of a wealthy reclusive man named Mathias are invited to his mansion for the reading of his will. They include a young woman named Lucy who couldn't bring her husband because strangers are not allowed. Other guests includes a man who seems to know everything about the clockwork figures, dolls and suits of armour. Things turn nasty when one of the human sized dolls almost kills someone.
This film was released in 1968 in Mexico but elsewhere it was released a few years later. The credits mention Edgar Alan Poe that make me wonder if it was based on a story "The Fall of the House of Usher" work. There was plenty of gothic atmosphere and a lot of dark scenes (I mean literally too dark it's difficult to see anything). A weird film about bizarre things happening in a house, and is quite creepy in places.
I rate it a mad 7/10.
