Terror and Black Lace

Directed by Luis Alcoriza

At least the title of Terror and Black Lace isn’t entirely misleading. There is, after all, some terror. And there is some black lace. But, in the same way that Luis Alcoriza’s 1985 film is mostly domestic drama and then only partially and haphazardly horror, this film is far more concerned with lingerie than horror.

There are so many unnecessary set pieces in Terror and Black Lace. In fact, this 95-minute film could’ve been a fun, campy 10-minute short. What’s more useless – the sexy, giggling women who live downstairs from Giorgio and Isabel? The suddenly sex-crazed maid who seems to know everyone in the city? The black lingerie that Isabel purchases (which,...
