IMDB has no user reviews nor external reviews, and details are frustratingly elusive. We can confirm that it is an early horror from future Naschy director Leon Klimovsky, so it's bound to turn up somewhere eventually. When I first looked up this title four years ago, IMDB had it mixed up with EDGE OF FURY, a 1958 feature from AIP director Robert J. Gurney Jr. (TERROR FROM THE YEAR 5000).

Imagine a less lively/interesting version of one of the Jimmy Sangster-penned horror thrillers of the period, such as SCREAM OF FEAR, PARANOIAC or NIGHTMARE, and you pretty much have the measure of ELLA Y EL MIEDO; indeed, the Sangster-soundalike quality of its U.S. release title may not be entirely coincidental. I've only seen the original Spanish version, which has turned up recently on US-based Spanish-language tv network Somos, and there are certainly .avi/.divX copies of it floating around online.
