Resucitare Para Matarlos (1990)
Gym class was always the worst.

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

A Golpe De Hacha (1991)
I learned a few things from watching A Golpe De Hacha : First, pizza in Mexico is pronounced "pisa" .

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.
