Synopsis

On their way to Cabo San Lucas, the cast and crew of a low-budget film get lost and come upon "La Sangre De Dios", a ghost town with a spine-tingling legend about an insane Mexican wrestler. One by one, the cast and crew are snatched, beaten and dragged to a bloody death. The few left alive must figure out how to beat the wrestler at his own deadly game, or die trying.

Daniel Caedmon This was supposed to be a horror film! Not scary at all! The plot line was okay but you hardly saw the killer/wrestler. I'm pretty sure El Santo would be disappointed to see this. Even his cheesy horror films are better than this! I saw this movie on youtube. It was so stupid probably one of the worst horror films of all time. And I don't even watch that much horror.
trashgang I must admit, I'm a horror geek but also a wrestling fan. Being aware of the fact that there are some movies out with famous wrestlers in it (12 Rounds, The Marine) I guessed that there would be some horror movies out there with the famous WWE players in it. And indeed, it did, See No Evil (Kane) is one of the famous in the genre but we also have this one with Rey Mysterio Sr. As stated, don't take it seriously. It's a simple storyline. You know. Getting lost in the dessert. Stopping at a local gas station were the owner tells you NOT to stop at the ghost town. What happens next is the car breaking down...just before that town. Guess what, small talk tells about a wrestling legend still being around in that particular town. And it does of course. Up next is blood, a bit of gore, some gratuitous nudity, sexy girls loosing their clothes and a stupid ending, but hey, I told you, it's good to watch with your friends, you really gonna cheer for the girls...
Scarecrow-88 A group of friends, in Mexico for a porn shoot, make the mistake of stopping into a ghost town, hunted by a luchadore(..some kind of experiment made from the bodies of other wrestlers to compete for his country in the Olympics of '68, considered a failure after attacking opponents in matches)who seeks to attain their faces(..the flesh from a face is considered a mask, in tradition, to remove the mask of your opponent is the highest form of humiliation)after subduing and harming them. Will any of them be able to remove his mask, once and for all retiring the psychotic luchadore? As lame as the synopsis would suggest with characters you could care less about. Built as a horror comedy with the camera lovingly capturing actress Leyla Milani's ass, in tight shorts(..or, eventually, panties) as she flees from her pursuer. It's hard to feel sorry for a group who defy a warning from a local, entering a forbidden town with a notorious history, La Sangre de Dios. Rey Misterio Sr(..a real luchadore, and father to the legendary Rey Misterio Jr)stars as El Mascarado, the luchadore who attacks the group, often growling as he follows after(..and vanquishes) them. Margaret Scarborough is quite yummy as Milani's lover Debbie. A nice role for Jeremy Radin as a nerdy camera operator, Steve, who services the plot as a fan of Lucha libre with knowledge of El Mascarado, understanding Spanish, informing others that to defeat him is to remove his mask. The violence does get graphic as El Mascarado throws his victims around like a rag doll(..Steve puts on his mask and charges towards him, with the result far from pretty)before breaking an arm or back, prying away their face flesh after he's through. The Mexican village is a great setting for a horror film and the premise of characters finding themselves lost in the middle of nowhere, in desert country, where help is far, far away, is a viable one, but there's no suspense or atmosphere..in a setting that should be spooky, brimming with menace, you can only fault the execution of a film such as this. It's also a bit too goofy, even with such a preposterous premise as this one has..but, I have a feeling many will judge this less harshly considering the fact that the filmmakers were never intending to create a scary horror film in the first place.
stephen kehoe (impossiblehim) Well what can i say about this one....for a start the story is original i'll give it that...but it has to be one of the daftest ideas the horror genre has ever seen....it's kinda like 'WWF' meets 'Leatherface' with 'Hatchet' sprinkles....a winning formula i hear you cry.....well not quite. Instead were treated to some really quite dire overacting..with the lead male(the porn director)being the worst culprit, completely bad dialogue and a runtime of 75 minutes that still manages to feel like 2 hours. Once the film gets going the director does manage a few moments of (dare i say it) tension and seems to be trying to make the film stylish but overall it doesn't really work...but hats off for trying. What gore there was was handled not too badly but was far too sparse for a film with the word 'maniac' in it. Although the characters are annoying at first i found myself rooting for them at some points yet by the end all the rooting in the world won't make any difference. The end leaves it open for a sequel and if there is one i'll expect a marked improvement on this one. Not bad for a bit of fun but it's more bad than it is good.
