El vampiro negro
1953 | B/N | 90:00

In this free version of Fritz Lang’s M, Viñoly Barreto observes human dynamics up close and melodramatically. Before a court, doctor Bernard recalls the details of the case of a murderer of girls known as the professor. It all starts when a showgirl sees the criminal dispose of a body while she throws it down a sewer. Dr. Bernard becomes obsessed with capturing the fearsome criminal, chasing down and catching various suspects whom he holds guilty.
