After the death of General Franco in 1975, Spain experienced a cultural shift that rippled through their film industry. Stripped of the conservative chains and sexual repression of the Franco dictatorship, Spanish filmmakers were finally allowed to put their wildest erotic thoughts on screen and this especially found its way into the horror and genre cinema of the time. EXORCISMO dives into these influential years dubbed the Transition era that gave birth to one of the most inspired film movements in all of genre cinema. Narrated by Iggy Pop. -Joseph Hernandez
