insomniac_rod I have to be honest with your fellow IMDb reviewers. I'm Mexican. I watched this movie when I was very young. I got really scared with the evil doll moving her eyes and the sound it made.I'm very interested in knowing why many European horror lovers think it's such a creepy film. In my opinion, trying to be objective, I believe it works more as a black comedy (almost spoof) rather than a serious Horror movie.Sure, the whole demonic entity makes presence through cheesy f/x and more. But the acting and direction is very, very bad. Honestly, Pedrito Fernández delivers a putrid performance and his raunchy dialogs made me feel uncomfortable.For nostalgia's sake, this is a memorable horror effort. For taking it seriously, I would consider it to be extremely cheesy although it put on some effort.The "Evil Dead" and "The Entity" references were cool though.
Woodyanders An evil witch gets burned at the stake, but vows to return and get her revenge prior to being torched. A hundred years later a family -- architect father Fernando (Julio Aleman), naggy pregnant wife Lorena (attractive Nuria Bages), daughter Gaby (Gianella Hassle Kus), twin sons Pedrito (Ernesto East) and Jaimito (Carlos East, Jr.), sweet niece Paulina (the fetching Gabriela Hassle), and Paulina's affable occult enthusiast boyfriend Julio (an engaging performance by Pedro Fernandez) -- decide to vacation at a summer home located in the same immediate countryside area where the witch was killed. Trouble ensues when Gaby finds a doll possessed by the lethal spirit of the malevolent witch. Director Rene Cardona III eschews graphic gore in favor of creating and sustaining a creepy ooga-booga atmosphere that becomes more progressively eerie and frightening as the story unfolds. Said uncanny mood culminates in an especially intense and harrowing last third. Moreover, the capable acting from a uniformly solid cast, Luis Medina's polished cinematography, the likable characters, the exciting fiery conclusion, Eugenio Castillo's shivery, ominous score, plenty of unsettling visuals (the bleeding tree and walls are truly scary and unnerving while the shots of vile rotting food covered with bugs, rats and snakes are just plain gross), the constant pace, and the crude, yet effective special effects further enhance the overall sound quality of this nifty little horror picture.
jessecrts The witch of the village has been torched and the only memories to this are a medallion and an antique doll. A few years later a family goes on vacation to experience their new country home in the outside regions of a pueblo called Valle de Bravo Madero Mexico. Once there the resentful ghosts and memories of the past become apparent and refuse to stay put. The six year old girl of the family falls into a well and finds the ragged old doll which will now bring back one of the many dark entities of the witch. Through incredible telekinetic powers and magical voodoo as well as bloody hallucinations the hell from beneath has come back and will now try to posses the young girl before the night is over. The witch's vengeance is finally alive and ready to bring an end to the family...one by one.
Hector Durante This genre was very poor in the 80's in Mexico, in those years productions were bad and full of sluts, vicious, old ,morbid men, so this movie was a refreshing pause between all that kind of trash.This movie is about a family going on vacation to their new bought country house, they don't suspect what horrible things are going to happen. In this trip go mother, father, daughter , brothers (twins), a nephew (she is elder than children, she's about 19) and nephew's boyfriend.When they arrive to the house, children went gone to explore, the little girl falls into a hole and then she found a DOLL!If you saw the movie, you could see it hasn't spectacular fx, but only seeing that horrible doll you'll feel goosebumps, it is suposse that a witch spirit lives inside it.Devil doll take control of a little girl mind, and it would try to kill all family members......Could it kill of them?????????????The script is very predictable but this movie is very entertaining.
