About The Door and the Butcher's Wife
A movie divided in two segments, the first "La puerta" (The Door) is about a high society gathering in which a door inside the mansion leads to a bizarre corridor where a naked and menacing human figure appears. The second "La mujer del carnicero" (The Butcher's Wife) is set during the Mexican revolution and is about horrifying hallucinations felt by a lieutenant after committing a murder.
Directed by Luis Alcoriza, Ismael Rodríguez, Chano Urueta, The Door and the Butcher's Wife leans on a strong ensemble — Ana Luisa Peluffo, Carlos Piñar, Armando Silvestre — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about horror titles of 1969.
