With a box office flop and almost no lasting buzz, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- One for martial arts fans and anyone who likes to be kept guessing. The fight choreography is a big part of the appeal. A good follow-up to Grindhouse.
- The mood
- Scary.
- The pace
- Tense from early on, at 1 hr 25 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
- What might put you off
- It's in Spanish, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Made in 1973: an older pace and style.
- Not for anyone who finds explosions tiring.
A trio of masked Mexican wrestlers take on a mad scientist, killer dwarfs, and a horde of re-animated mummies in Guanajuato.
