Arrebato

1979

Iván Zulueta

The absolute last word on visual addiction, Arrebato is a fascinating Spanish cult film. Drugs, vampirism and uncontrollable film fanaticism all figure into this little seen classic that bears quite a few similarities to David Cronenberg’s Videodrome, which it predated by five years. Completed in 1979, Arrebato is probably the most famous Spanish cult movie of all time. It’s been largely inaccessible in the years since its extremely limited original release and so has developed quite a mystique.
