Mexican Horror - The Golden Age

[ChicGandil]

Awesome! Just ordered the One-7 disc. Thank you!!

There are some screen caps here if you want to check them out.

Thanks for that. The screen caps look on par with (maybe a bit better than) the quality of the SC print, which sports the title IL MOSTRUOSO DOTTOR CRIMEN.

Not sure about THE WITCH, but One-7 Movies released EL MONSTRUO RESUCITADO as MONSTER back in 2013:

The description states it's subtitled in English, and it appears there are still some sellers offering it for a reasonable price. I already had gotten it from Sinister Cinema, and I figured their version probably was sufficient.

The last two were released on dvd sans any English options in the 00's. I can't recall what company released them. Televista maybe? I had The Witch and it was easy enough to follow, but it would have been better with some English.

After reading your review of THE LIVING COFFIN, I decided to make that tonight's viewing. This time around, I found it to be a fun little time waster. No classic as there are some pretty annoying plot devices (annoying sidekick, smart ass horse, Scooby Dooish goings on). Some moody moments were to be had though and it wasn't as dull as I'd recalled.

Now if I need to revisit CURSE OF THE CRYING WOMAN.

Thanks! I'll run some more over the next few weeks.

[Scott]

Agreed. Good stuff, Ian!

This thread made me dig out all my old Casa Negra DVDs. If I can find my old reviews, I'll do some caps and post them on the site, no sense in them not existing since they're done and all.

These make for excellent, and nostalgic, reading, Ian. Thanks for dusting them off.

It would be great if someone filled the void Casa Negra left. Still waiting for The Man Without A Face (1950); El Monstruo Resucitado (1953); and The Witch (1954).

What Gary said! I'm so glad I have all the Casa Negra dvds, I plan on a marathon this week.

DO IT!

Yeah I've been watching one each night for the past few days. Great stuff!

I very much doubt their Mexican horror releases will be from the "golden age". They know what butters their bread these days, and it's stuff from the 80s/90s. So expect the horror films to be from that era. DON'T PANIC seems like an obvious choice for them.

BCI's first set of "recent" Mexican horror flicks contained DON'T PANIC and several others:

It was a pretty good sampling from the 80's and early 90's, I think. (The second set was actually stuff from the "Golden Era.") Maybe some of these will be among the group of titles VS releases?
