Estigma a.k.a. Stigma in English (and that's as in religious stigmata, not social taboo) would have been a masterpiece had it been silent. The language dubbing is some of the worst I've encountered and I recommend that you watch it in Spanish even if you don't speak Spanish. The plot is so ridiculous it won't matter.
But the film is GORGEOUS - it's exactly what I look for in old horror movies. The settings are superb. The eerie darkness and gloom coloring the entire film is haunting and shadows are used artfully in a way that can only be accomplished in the old 70s style with celluloid.
I even liked the Victorian twist at the end, but the whole sub-plot with the 30 year old woman enabling the teenaged axe murderer then having the audacity to hook up with him only served to remind me that at the end of the day this is Eurotrash cinema.
