jodorowsky-bot This film is indescribably f***ing bad. It's not even one of those B- rated horror movies that's so cheesy it's actually good... No. "The Curse of El Charro" is plain awful. It is certainly one of the worst films I have ever had the displeasure of witnessing... by far. This blasphemy of a motion picture looks like it was shot in the back of a run-down, crappy Tex-Mex restaurant. The acting is predictable and amounts to an amateur middle school stage-play at best. The script is never amusing. The characters suck balls too: The main antagonist is basically played by a troglodyte with makeup smeared on his face, and even what I expected to be the most redeeming quality of the film -- Danny Trejo's voice acting -- is slaughtered by the pathetic, lazy attempts of the film's writers to create anything that would amount to a script or screenplay. The last half hour of the film is when any actual horror element comes into play, and by this point (if you haven't already stopped watching this horrid abomination) you're either too bored to bear not shooting yourself in the anus or simply too shocked and appalled to even pay attention to what is going on. I think that the film being showcased on Chiller probably almost sent the channel into bankruptcy, and I'm surprised that this supposedly $200,000 "project" even came out looking like a $5 glob of rat puss. I wouldn't be surprised if Fellini not only rolled in his grave, but rose from it only to commit suicide and die once more once this crap premiered.
danthewrestlingmanorigin El Charro opens up in a fairly interesting way, leading me to believe it was some sort of religious supernatural thriller. However these themes are pushed aside, and not really developed. Later the group of friends run into a creepy Sheriff, who escorts them to bar, filled with assorted weirdos, including a wheel chair bound death metal rocker, suffering from some kind of mental handicap. At this point I'm thinking the film is going to become a Devil's Rejects, or Texas Chainsaw Massacre insane family type of film. No again, they simply leave the bar, and the Sheriff, and his wacky pals are never developed beyond that. Seriously, the writer or somebody has really messed up here, the film is a jumbled mess, and I can't begin to imagine where they went wrong. The film doesn't know what it wants to be, one minute it's going for the intense dramatic angle with a girl coping with the suicide of her sister, the next it features snore inducing stereotypes trying to party, and get laid. Finally by the end, it decides to go the slasher route, but it's far to late. I rate this a two, because I know some of the actors' are better then the material, and there are a couple decent kill scenes in the end, though nothing special. For those of you wondering, there is a brief lesbian shower scene with Tabitha Stevens, but it lasts all of three seconds, and you don't see much of anything. On a side note, Lemmy what were you thinking? You have to stick with Troma man, you were great in Tromeo And Juliet, but this garbage is beneath you.
Kerry_E_White I can't stand to start a movie and not finish, even if its bad, but this movie is agonizing to watch! The acting is horrible, the characters implausible, the actresses are extremely annoying, and the plot is cliché and simplistic. Even the usually redeeming quality of partial nudity is negated by the fact that the girls are ugly. I enjoy a little cheese and a funny B movie, but this movie is worthless even for that. I got the DVD free and its about as valuable as an AOL CD. This movie isn't worth writing a review about, I do so only to warn you. I'd rather eat a turd than watch such a pitiful attempt at cinema. The fake blood isn't even the right color, its pink. What really ruins it is the ridiculous casting and character design, they had no idea what they were doing. The music is worse than bands that open for other bands at clubs with no cover charge.
supersky Damn this movie sucked, never in my lifetime have I been so angry and disappointed after wasting my time watching this piece of junk! It contains nothing but bad acting and a lot of awful effects! There is no plot at all in this movie and the things that the characters experience does not hang together at all. I cannot believe that anyone would rate this movie higher than rating it as awful (must be some kind of "sympathy act" if you choose to anyway). I seriously do not wish for anybody to waste money nor time on this movie.Damn this movie sucked, never in my lifetime have I been so angry and disappointed after wasting my time watching this piece of junk!
