El Barón del Terror (1961)Director: Chano Urueta
Starring: Abel Salazar, Ariadna Welter, David Silva, Germán Robles, Luis Aragón
Rating: 4/5
"The year is 1661. Baron Vitelius (Abel Salazar) stands accused of consorting with the devil. The penalty: death. Cursing his inquisitors as they burn him at the stake, the Baron’s revenge comes 300 years later, in the form of a horrifying fork-tongued incarnation of the Baron, hellbent on devouring the brains of the descendents of those who killed him. As bodies pile up, the police become mystified. Who is draining the skulls of local call-girls and well-to-do banquet-goers alike? And, more importantly, how many flamethrowers will it take to stop him?"
Comments: A completely bizarre entry in early Mexican horror cinema. The films creepy atmosphere more than makes up for the goofy special effects and poor acting. Recommended for anyone who loves a lot of cheese with their movies.
