Getting home late at night,I decided to finish the night by watching a Mexican Horror. Being taken by the title when checking my pile of titles waiting to be played, I phoned up to arrange a anointment with Dr. Satan.
View on the film:
Turning poor souls into zombies in his underground lair, director Miguel Morayta & cinematographer Raul Martinez Solares drill a dark psychedelic atmosphere, tuning into the reverberating score with smoke masked close-ups and eerie devils overlapping Dr. Satan's devilish operations. Dicing the terror of this doc in his lair with sinister underworld dealings in the outdoors, the screenplay by Sidney T. Bruckner and Jose Maria Fernandez Unsain inject a Noir mystery into Satan's hands, as Satan floods Mexico with counterfeit cash which in hand helps cover any questions people raise on what he gets up to in his lair.
Whilst the flood of cash brings a ticking clock tension to the police trying to find him before the next scheduled operations, the writers disappointingly fold the majority of the mystery into lacking the menace of Dr. Satan's operations, due to little being spent on building up Dr. Satan as a horrific threat in the outside world. Holding victims down with a rogue gentlemen false charm,Joaquín Cordero gives a great turn, which laces viciousness with a devilish charm for Dr. Satan.
