We're kicking off this year's April Showers of Blood with a hidden gem of Spanish horror, lovingly restored by Vinegar Syndrome. While the movie clearly borrows from Rosemary's Baby, this is no ordinary spawn of Satan story.  Follow this podcast on Instagram, Twitter, Slasher, and Facebook @unsunghorrors.
