Unbeknownst to him, six teenagers begin experimenting with a book of satanic spells and rituals in an old mansion set beside a cemetery.

To make matters worse, a group of children have wandered nearby, and the doctor must stop the blood thirsty zombies before it's too late. ~ Sandra Brennan, All Movie Guide

Fernanda Reto, Raul Araiza and Hugo Steiglitz headline the steamy Spanish-language thriller Crimenes de Passion (Crimes of Passion), directed by Adolfo Martinez Solares.

Hector Del Velle was a cop who always played by the rules, at least until a debt problem prompted him to seek financial aid from a wealthy group of drug traffickers. But when this ruthless band of criminals strikes too close to home, the cop who always played fair is forced to resort to the kind of underhanded tactics generally employed by only the most notorious law-breakers in the land. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide
