When Dr. Jacinto Aldama (Antonio Raxel) is near death on his bed, Dr. Mazali (Rafael Bertrand) demands him about their pact to return from beyond to tell how the afterlife is. Soon Dr. Mazali has a séance with Dr. González (Luis Aragón), and Dr. Aldama comes and tells him that three months later, there will be a closed door at 9;00 PM that will show him the afterlife and them he will return in flesh, but he will be punished. Meanwhile, the performer Patricia Aldama (Mapita Cortés) is visited by a mysterious man that tells her that she has a key that must be delivered to Dr. Mazali and receive an inheritance from her father. When she arrives at the sanatorium, Dr. Mazali is treating a violent gypsy woman that throws acid on the face of the nurse Elmer (Carlos Ancira) that is deformed. While waiting for Dr. Mazali, Pat meets the newly graduated doctor Dr. Eduardo Jiménez (Gastón Santos) that will work in the mental institution. Soon the scheduled day comes, deeply affecting the life of Dr. Manzi.
"Misterios de ultratumba", a.k.a "The Black Pit of Dr. M", is a 1959 black-and-white Mexican horror movie with a great story about the afterlife. The plot is well-written and scary, with a doctor expecting to learn about the beyond and being punished in the end. My vote is seven.
Title (Brazil): "Mistério de Além-Túmulo" ("Mystery of Beyond the Grave)
