On there way to Cabo San Lucas, a group of low-budget (porno) film maker and has cast stop in a legendary Mexican ghost town to refuel. The town is said to be the home of El Mascarado, a Frankenstein-like lucha libre killer. Unfortunately, the legends are at least partially true and the masked marauder is ready to kill again.
While there is nothing absolutely groundbreaking about this
movie, it's a lot of fun and a great idea. Misterio doesn't an amazing job of being a hulking horror monster. The background is ridiculous, but does touch on the importance of wrestling in Mexican culture. The overall plot is something we've seen before, victims break down in a place they've been warned away from. That being said, it's an entertaining flick with strong wrestling ties.
If you're a fan of slasher movies and lucha libre this is
definitely a flick to check out. The fact that El Mascarado follows wrestling
rules is a unique trait for a slasher. He prefers to fight in his ring and he always unmasks his foes. The fact his foes aren't actually wearing masks makes it really gruesome.
If you're a fan of horror and wrestling you should check this one out. I don't think you'll be disappointed.
