El Topo essentialy started the midnight movie trend. Jodorowsky's work certainly isn't for everyone, but there is no doubting the power of his imagery and the intense spirituality that motivates his storytelling.

Yeah, one thing I came across was the fact that Spanish and Latin horrors usually seem to have an element of religion in them...which might make for interesting - if slightly controversial - poster designs/ film festival theme.

they certainly are an experience.


probably best to start with santa sangre as it's more of a horror film than the others (well as close as it could be)

Santa Sangre was fun, but I think you should take it neat the first time--go straight for the Holy Mountain. It packs a wallop, I'll tell ya...
