In fact, Veneno Para Las Hadas is a much richer and interesting film that do not look to satisfied everyone.<br /><br />Stuff like La Tía Alejandra and other "horror" ventures from respected "artsy" directors show that even the most important productions where done by people who din't new horror or the history of horror films. La Tía Alejandra is a good film, done by one of Mexico's most respected filmmakers, an author and dramatist, but not a horror artist by heart, that movie is to horror genre what Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon is to the martial arts genre.<br /><br />To made a mexican horror movie list without Rene Cardona, Juan Lopez Moctezuma and Rogelio A. González is sacrilegious. Moctezuma was a horror historian, a important figure who brought the genre and sub-genre knowledge to Mexican cinema.<br /><br />I like that you include none mexican filmmakers like Spain's director Luis Alcoriza, but may be you should include Jodorowsly or Bunuel too. Santa Sangre is scarier and creepier then most of the films on the list and is a very good film, sure is 90% in English, but Cronos has lost of English too.<br /><br />Is a good list and a great blog, congrats, I imagine that you haven't seen it all, but who's seen it all?, if you need any help or info on titles, let me know.Aaron Sotohttp://cinemaincdeaaronsoto.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8187299713644063295.post-83192621884101945332010-03-20T19:32:18.017-06:002010-03-20T19:32:18.017-06:00Anyone able to recommend some more recent mexican ...Anyone able to recommend some more recent mexican horror?

"Misterios de Ultratumba" is my favourite of them, and easily it could have reached post #3... its too damn hard to beat "Pedro Páramo" and "El Hombre Sin Rostro". I hope one day you can give those two a shot. Cheers!<BR/><BR/>Zuazua: I think you'll love "Pedro Páramo", as impossible as it sounds, it follows th enovel to the letter and really captures the whole atmosphere of Comala. While John Gavin is weird in the lead role (and speaks with American accent), I found it nice, as Pedro Páramo is suppoused to be someone different, larger than life. I specially love the ending. I'll try to find "AR-15", sounds like my kind of film, as I love those Mexican "Death Wish" clones like "Siete en la Mira" and "Cazador de Asesinos" (probably my favourite).<BR/><BR/>Paxton: Sorry man! I just thought that three Taboada films in the list were enough, that "Vagabundo en la Lluvia" deserves more attention, and that... you'll kill me... "Veneno para las Hadas" was just not THAT good.

It's great to know there are such horror gems among the numerous folklore productions.<BR/><BR/>Didn't know there was a Pedro Paramo film, i'm looking forward to get it since i loved the book.<BR/><BR/>While i don't think El Esqueleto de la Señora Morales belongs to the horror genre it's definitely a masterpiece even surpassing several American films of the same genre.<BR/><BR/>Don't know if you have seen it, but there is a mexican vigilante movie called R15 Comando Implacable (at least that was the name shown on Galavision, i guess) , basically a Death Wish ripoff that contains some of the creepiest scenes i have ever seen (perhaps because the general low productions of the movie makes everything look much more crude), involving the protagonist dining, partying and conversating with the stiff corpses of its recently murdered family, while he allucinates they are still alive. A moment i recall fondly is when he carries his son (Armando Araiza i think) to bed, of course he's already in rigor mortis and still in the seating position from the dinning table, the protagonist (I don't recall his name) stretches his legs on the matress with a loud bone cracking sound. I'll try to dig some info about the movie.Zuazuahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10148171040306002915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8187299713644063295.post-9172022690043980452008-10-30T22:06:00.000-06:002008-10-30T22:06:00.000-06:00After having read about them for many years, I onl...After having read about them for many years, I only got to see the Abel Salazar-produced horrors of the '50s and '60s last year. They're a truly remarkable batch of films, and certainly earn their slots on any list such as the one you've compiled.<BR/><BR/>Hammer's gothic horrors from that same period are much-hyped, but are, quality-wise, often vastly inferior to the work on the sub-genre going on in other countries. The ABSA films are a perfect example of this. EL VAMPIRO is a magnificent film; as good as anything Hammer ever produced. Photographically speaking, Hammer doesn't have anything that can touch it. Even better is MISTERIOS DE ULTRATUMBA, a genuine classic, and a great deal <I>better</I> than anything that ever came out of Hammer. It would, in fact, rank among the greatest gothic horrors ever made. I'm impressed that it only finishes in 5th place on your list. I don't think I've seen a single one of the films you rank higher, but just the thought of there being four horror films from Mexico alone that are better than this one has me salivating.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
