Chase Burns The Stranger (Seattle, WA) Few movies scream like a Moctezuma movie. I wrote down a note that the graveyard sequence here is incredible... Dec 9, 2021 Full Review Chris Alexander Alexander On Film Ferrare makes for an unforgettable villain/victim; when she kills, she's savage and yet we empathize with her plight.

Chris M This is the "Under The Skin" of the 1970s. Artsy fartsy abstract nonsense instead of a coherent story. It's clear from the beginning Mary is not a vampire. Doesn't mean she can't drink blood but besides being unhealthy to drink strangers blood for normal humans. But it is impossible for a human being to drink 12 pints of anything. Vampires are supernatural but she's not a vampire. So no, she couldn't drink all the blood out of a human. Plus, she uses a hat pin or something. She stabs one guy, the blood goes everywhere but later when the police arrived, the pillow that was soaked with blood was clean. What happen? Did Mary make like a wet vac and cleaned the obvious stained pillow. But unlike "Under The Skin", we do get an explanation. Only it takes to 12 minutes before the ending credits and the explanation is dumb. Something that the police should be able to find. Plus typical 1970s downer ending. The biggest issue is that the concept and title is too silly to be taken seriously but it takes itself way too seriously to be entertaining. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 10/04/22 Full Review Audience Member Juan López Moctezuma's third horror film of the 1970's released on Blu-Ray from Code Red. It's interesting that it has a take on the vampire mythology that's remarkably similar to George Romero's "Martin", but was made 2 years before Romero's film. Other than that, it's a stylish film with similarities to European films of this kind from the same era, but it doesn't really stand out as much as "Mansion of Madness" or "Alucarda". It's the most conventional of his films. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Audience Member Mary is a reasonably talented American artist living in Mexico who is also a serial killer who drinks her victim's blood. Her long missing father also turns up in Mexico doing the same thing making quite a confusing case for Mexican investigators. Bizarre beach scene has locals stabbing a shark who has come near shore but is not tied to the film's plot. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member American artist and vampiress travels the Mexican countryside, leaving a swath of victims along the way with investigators in pursuit. Starts well enough but bears its production limitations. An aged John Carradine makes a special appearance as Mary's father, although most of his scenes are handled by a much more spry individual who travels under a mask.
