El Santo becomes locked into a deadly battle that transcends time itself after incurring the wrath of an axe-wielding maniac known only as The Black Hood in this adventure starring Mexico's favorite lucha-libre avenger. As El Santo is laid to rest by a group of monks during the Age of Inquisition, The Black Hood sells his soul to Satan to achieve immortality and seek revenge on the warrior of good for the crime of stealing the only woman he ever loved. When El Santo returns from the beyond to continue his crusade against injustice and finds that The Black Hood has taken the life of his love Alicia, he is forced to fight his most fearsome opponent yet. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Based on the authentic Mexican legend first filmed in 1933 as La Llorona, this film begins with a flashback to a gruesome railway murder, setting up the legend of the wailing woman. In the present, a couple (Abel Salazar, Rosita Arenas) travels to a spooky mansion where evil Rita Macedo is trying to revive the mummified La Llorona. Macedo, the wailing ghost, and a deformed caretaker (Enrique Lucero) terrorize the central couple in fairly standard, ho-hum fashion, but director Rafael Baledon uses some interesting techniques to build atmosphere, and Arenas is solid as the imperiled heiress. ~ Robert Firsching, Rovi

An insane scientist attempts to bring a mummy back to life, not realizing that the bandages were actually disguising not a mummy, but a werewolf. This Mexican horror-comedy attempts to find laughs in the resulting confusion and carnage. ~ Judd Blaise, Rovi
