Nolan Will Grab Your Attention Here!

Josh is south of the border, trying to help a Mexican man who is about to be a father and does want the "help" of a "curadera", an occult-type figure in which the people have a belief in where he lives.

He hires Josh to keep the curandera away but the real trouble are the man's relatives who - by force of the gun if necessary - are going to make sure that "witch woman" comes into the house and does her thing before the birth. So, Steve and this father-to-be, wind up battling the whole small town. The odds don't look good.

Jeanette Nolan, who plays "La Curandera," is hardly an Hispanic woman (although the rest of the cast is) but she is very effective, however. Nolan, with the aid of a lot of ghost-like makeup, is genuinely creepy and interesting to watch and hear. Nolan had a long and impressive acting career, working all the way up to the year she died.
