Gym class was always the worst. You have to run first thing every morning, play a sport or do an exercise that you weren’t even good at, the cute as hell girl you like in the class wouldn’t give you the time of day & the more athletic boys were annoyingly competitive at everything in the class. That’s pretty much what  Resucitare Para Matarlos   (aka "Resurrected To Kill")  is all about, except someone dies and they come back... For revenge. Meet  Juan Carlos   (Andreas Pears

In  Silencio De Muerte , a silent death is the scariest of all deaths. Imagine not hearing anything and not being heard when dying. That is truly frighting. A group of actors are struggling to make ends meet in the stage plays they star in. They can't get any work anywhere else either. They realize they are no longer in their 20's, where it was much easier being an actor then. Realizing that they are getting older and know nothing else other than acting — one of the actors ha

I learned a few things from watching  A Golpe De Hacha : First, pizza in Mexico is pronounced  "pisa" . If your cat gets chopped up with a hatchet, then you will automatically receive $20,000 pesos in your checking account the following day. If your best friend, the local priest, and your boss get killed with a hatchet, then you will also receive $20,000 pesos for each dead person. Also, if a guy with big hands starts flirting with you at work, then he clearly wants to date y

Before you weirdly ask: “is this a slasher?”,  yes this this is a slasher movie.  “How sharp is the weapon? What kind of weapon is it?” , the weapon is a hatchet and it is sharp enough to chop up innocent 80’s Mexican youngsters. The hatchet should hit you next if you keep asking more questions (just kidding, sort of) . Vacaciones Sangrientas  plays out very simply like any other slasher movie from the 80’s. A group of young adults head out to the woods for a nice little vaca

Sergio Goyri is a vampire. It seems like an odd thing to say, huh? Had anyone told me that a while back, I’m not sure what the hell people would've been talking about, but now that I have seen it with my own 2 eyes, I believe it. Fuck. Symphony No. 11 in G Minor, The Year 1905: Eternal Memory plays as the opening credits roll & then we catch a glimpse of a very spooky mansion at night where a vampire named Dracul (Sergio Goyri) shows off his fangs and is ready to attack on

In  Endemoniado  (aka "Demonized") ,   a   psychiatrist meets with a small group of people who claim they have been victims of demonic atrocities.

In this case, 3 of them. El Troll A woman goes to a witch for help with her drunken husband. She wants him to q

A young thug called  El Maya (Alan Ciangherotti)  and his group of goons kidnap women around town for money, but as of lately El Maya has gone super weird since he’s gotten involved in brujería and has been killing the kidnapped women for sacrifices to  “El Maestro” (the devil I guess) . The body count rises up very high and it’s up to a cop named  Rodrigo (Jorge Aldama)  along with his partner (that he’s totally banging) to find the killer before more innocent women are ki

Police detective  Sergio (Sergio Goyri)  and his wife  Cynthia   (Cynthia Torach)  are a married couple on the rocks.

As you know by now  (unless you're a square) , I'm a big fan of  Jorge Reynoso . I've watched many movies of his and seen him face off just about everything and every one. In  Guerreros Diabolicos   (aka "Diabolical Warriors" ) , Jorge Reynoso and your dad with his amazing hair-do investigate bizarre murders & kidnappings done by an evil satanic cult. Apparently this cult goes around kidnapping women and sacrificing them. Most of these murders seem to happen in public places

“I am the new Messiah” says Carlos (Jorge Reynoso) who was in court for the murder of his wife & 2 sons.

Dr. Veronica Arizmendi (Edith Gonzalez) is assigned to treat Carlos and she sees Carlos as a man with a damaged brain that can actually be fixed—much like a computer that can be repaired. Dr. A

Like  The Sinful Dwarf ,  Hasta Que El Sol Se Oculte  (aka "Until The Sun Goes Down")  tells the story of a married couple who have just rented a room in a big ol' strange house which is in charged by an old man in a wheelchair, his young brother who's a pervert & has a ponytail, and an old lady who appears to be a companion to the old man.
