In Yo No La Mate (translated as “I Didn’t Kill Her”) , Mexican actor/all-around freak Sergio Goyri plays a guy that is falsely accused of murder. Did he really do it though? Was there even enough evidence to prove this? Was this really all word of mouth? Is there perhaps a bigger conspiracy going on? Why all the fuss? Why all the mess? What the hell is even going on?  Felipe Alferez (Sergio Goyri) comes home with good news to his wife Yolanda (Azela Robinson) and it turns o

The other day I watched Federico Fellini’s Roma and I was baffled and in awe at the same time because of how weird & beautiful it was. The very next day I watched Victor Martinez’s El Camaleon ("The Chameleon")   and that movie also baffled me. Did I go awe to it as well? Not exactly, but I was amused by what I was watching. After all, Angel De La Peña transforms into Sergio Goyri . A transformation I never would've imagined in my weirdest, random fever dreams.  An old prison

Since 2010, I got myself deep into Mexican genre cinema because I wanted to explore the films I remembered watching as a kid and then ended up finding other great films along the way.  As mentioned before or if you’re new to Trash-Mex, I have been writing about what I’ve watched through my old site and slowly (but surely) have been putting all of my old reviews into the new website you are on now.  These 20+ Mexican horror reviews that have been posted this month have all bee

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.

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

People around town are being killed by this fake Sacristan. The cops search hard for clues leading to the identity of the killer Sacristan. El Sa

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

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. So then ya know, the couple move in the house, have sex, the ponytail guy peeps at them through a little hole in the door, and the wife b
