The Best Horror Movie

Yes. That's right, "Hasta el viento tiene miedo" is the best horror movie ever made. The acting might be cheesy but it is forgivable considering this is a 60's movie. The story from this movie is superb and will chill your spine. If you can catch this movie on tv don't hesitate to put some popcorn in the mcrowave 'cause you will be about to witness horror at it's best.
