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

I don’t ever say “espooky” because that’s really cringe & sounds so forced, but it also a “trendy” thing to say now and why not catch on to that for this “horror” edition of Trash-Mex Tapes . I mean “Espooky” edition. Pozo Del Diablo (1990) MDVC (Million Dollar Video Corporation)  I’m just letting you know now that this is not a slasher movie & definitely not a horror movie either. Do not let some LA gentrifier/VHS “dealer” with a terrible haircut gaslight you into t

In Mexico City's  Cine Opera , lives a strange man named  Erick (Gerardo Vigil)   who wanders around the theatre and reads  Oscar Wilde  poems. No one seems to know that Erick lives in the theatre except a young boy who accompanies his mother while she rehearses a dance routine for an upcoming stage show. While Erick reads his poems and while the dancers rehearse, a psychopath is on the loose in the theatre. His victims are the female dancers who prepare to go home after rehe

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

You know who's gorgeous & awesome?  Lina Santos ! You know what makes Lina Santos more gorgeous & awesome? Getting possessed by an evil witch in  Seduccion Sangrienta ! In  Seduccion Sangrienta  (aka "Bloody Seduction") , the gorgeous & awesome  Lina Santos  plays  Martha , a wife to a rich man. Martha's birthday is coming up, so her husband searches high & low for a really special gift to give her. He then finds an antique shop which carries lots of wonderful things Martha w

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

In  Endemoniado  (aka "Demonized") ,   a   psychiatrist meets with a small group of people who claim they have been victims of demonic atrocities. He tells the group he cannot help them with these kinds of things since he can only help them mentally wise, but being the  helpful  person that he is, decides to bring them all to a church for a good ol’ exorcism or two. 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

Every Friday night, a man gets brutally murdered by a woman that pretends to be a hooker. Detective Acosta (Rodolfo De Anda) searches hard to capture the killer. At a nearby convent, some really weird shit has been going on and it is quite clear that a demonic presence is around & has possessed one of the nuns! And who is the possessed nun? Well, It’s none other than Sister Caridad (Diana Golden) who goes into to town at night wearing a blonde wig & pretending to be a hooke

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

Sometimes it’s a beautiful thing, but sometimes it’s a sad thing. Either way, it’s been dealt with by all. In 1984, Lionel Richie released a song called  “Hello”   which is about unrequited love. In the music video, Lionel admires a young blind girl from afar and he just happens to be her college professor. After a series of aw
