Ken Hanke Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC) What makes the film work is the combination of atmosphere and its parade of over-the-top grotesqueries. Rated: 4/5 Jul 25, 2012 Full Review Read all reviews

bill t Takes FOREVER to get going (It almost feels soap operish in many parts) but this suspense horror really does pick up in the final act. This movie also does have the plusses of some amazing cinematography, but also the minuses of an overbearing soundtrack. There are more plusses then minuses in this movie actually, and it's not worth your time. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Incredibly stylish Mexican horror film with so many twists and turns that I'm afraid I'd risk spoiling some of the fun in giving any synopsis at all. Atmospheric and moody and well worth a watch. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Ahh more Mexican Horror at its best From Casanegra Films. Once again Gastón Santos plays in this movie as Dr. Eduardo Jimenez , Santos was also in the Living Coffin another excellent movie see my review here on Flixster. I've learned more about Santos, he was a bull fighter in Mexico, but not just any Bull Fighter as per my last review, he was a bull fighter on horseback. And he became a bull fighter after he was in films and acting, somewhat of a reversal to US Washed Up Athletics who become what they think are actors. Anyway two Doctors make an agreement who ever dies first would come back from the dead to show what the life hereafter holds, So that starts a good eerie Creature Feature type film, thought it seems I have seen a US version with different actors of this film, just can't remember its title. This is a Black & White Movie, English Subtitles, So get it if you can find it and wait for a rainy stormy night to sit down and watch this one. While I was watching it a soda bottle across the room on the table just fell over, pretty creepy. 4 1/2 stars for that alone. Add it to the collection .
