User Reviews

Cheap but amusing Mexican version of "Night Of The Living Dead"

Entertaining movie with sci-fi tones but pretends to be Horror. Although some scenes are really cheap and naive, the movie has a good atmosphere in the likes of "Planet 9".

The fight sequences against the living dead are amusing and ahead of it's time so I can say that the production values are very good.

The score is also satisfying and so the locations (specially the watery cave).

In this movie, two archaeologists and the GREAT Blue Demon face the Living Dead after a giant (!) ball of fir hits earth. The rest is up for you to watch.

It's a good option if you are into Mexican sense of Sci-fi and some cheap fun. Grab some beers and chips and enjoy!
