dark, nasty, scary stuff, 22 April 2008
7/10
Author: TheatreX from Louisville, KY

Supposedly this is the "pick of the litter" of the new set of "8 films to die for" and so I picked it first, having been mostly disappointed with what I saw of the first go-round. Not bad, very dark, very creepy, pretty scary stuff. Three buddies go to Mexico to live it up before college & run into some kind of cult that sacrifices people. You'd think you can't swing a dead cat in Mexico without running into some kind of wacko cult, and perhaps that's true, but if these folks had been watching their horror movies, they'd have known better. Of course, after an evening tripping on magic mushrooms, one of them decides to wander off on his own, and disappears. Now, these cultists are not very nice people at all, and if you mess with them, you are pretty much guaranteed to not live very long. The two remaining friends hook up with a former police officer whose partner was killed by these loonies & go in search of their friend. I have to say this was a far better than average film, and was very well done. Sean Astin also plays the part of an American who is part of this cult & who is a rather despicable character, not exactly his kind of role. Good stuff for those who like stuff like Hostel, etc., and have strong stomachs, all others should probably proceed with caution. 7 out of 10.
