This article analyses two Spanish audiovisual productions directed by Josefina Molina: Vera (1971) and Vera, un cuento cruel (1973). Vera was released as an episode part of the TVE2 series “Hora Once”. Vera, un cuento cruel is a feature-length fiction film produced by Etnos Films. The two films were directed and written by Josefina Molina based on a short story by Villiers de L´Isle-Adam titled Vera. Vera, un cuento cruel is the only Spanish horror movie directed and written by a woman during the last few years of Franco´s dictatorship, a moment in Spanish history when the horror and fantasy genre was at its most prolific. These films analysis is key in understanding how strongly misogyny influenced Spanish cinema and the fantasy genre in particular. This was undeniably tangible in all stages of film production and transpired through the themes and stories themselves.
