Foreword:  Back in May I began a themed-post on Instagram entitled “Trash-Mex Tapes” where I’d highlight some of my Mexican VHS collection. And while I will continue to post on Instagram , I’ve now decided to expand Trash-Mex Tapes on the website with more write-ups on the films, their releases, and of course post plenty of screenshots & video material—if permitted.  Trash-Mex Tapes will always consist of tapes that I own, have watched, and It will always also be something

Andres (Jorge Luke)  and  Gabriela (Maritza Olivares)  have just gotten married.

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

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

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

Police detective  Sergio (Sergio Goyri)  and his wife  Cynthia   (Cynthia Torach)  are a married couple on the rocks. Cynthia feels neglected by Sergio because he spends most of his time at work investigating hard cases & hardly ever being home. Sergio’s partner at work  Ramirez (Andres Garcia Jr)  is also having marital problems and it’s gotten so bad that his wife ends up leaving him to go stay at a spiritual haven that promises  "relaxation"  & "peace". The haven is owned

“I am the new Messiah” says Carlos (Jorge Reynoso) who was in court for the murder of his wife & 2 sons. Carlos is found guilty for the murders but declared legally insane, so he’s sent to a mental institution where he gets electric shock treatment that puts him in a vegetative state. 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

During the era of The Battle of Ciudad Juárez, A yankee colonel wearing an all white outfit & with a lame hat is ready to duel with a masked bandit wearing all black clothing & a cool as fuck Texana that has a silver skull on it.
