There's nothing more scary than the impact of being frightened to death, and there's a double dose of that here, although in both, there's more to the eye than what appeared to others involved. the first story involves a man buying a house in hopes of reconciling with his wife, but secretly, he's involved in a plot to get rid of her so he can be with his new lover. Twists and turns make it appear that the wife has died after seeing a ghoulish figure approaching her, but the cheating couple have a couple of surprises when the tables are turned.
The other story involves a man locked in a crypt by accident and finding that a recent burial has left someone alive stuck behind concrete. After digging her out, he tries to calm her so they can get through their evening together, but once again, something else is up, and you see mysterious movements that create a creepy image and the possibility of something else than what reality seems to be.
This double dose of Mexican horror seems like two anthology TV series episodes put into one for a big-screen release. Certainly, the black and white photography is grainy and the dubbing into English isn't the best. But, the script for what it is is well done and there are some definite macabre moments. an interesting musical background has both parts in the mood, particularly the jazzy seem in the first part. Overall, this isn't bad and is definitely worth seeking out for fans of grande guignol.
