A mix of Peter Jackson and Raimi zombies in Mexico
cinemainc9 April 2005
Oh man, how can i stared? This is an amazing short film, definitely one of the best i ever seen, Why? course is the funniest, frenetic, horror short film from Mexico. The story about a constructor worked (wrestler wanna be) that has to fight an army of crazy zombies at midnight, full of punks, gore and cool music.

Avendaño works the camera really cool, a mix of Raimi, Jackson and Rodriguez, he knows where he came from and the horror genre is the game, shoot on beautiful black and white, this is a Mexican tribute to the great films of George Romero.

Imagine "Night of the living Dead" and "Dead Alive" in Mexico, well acted and with a twist ending, i cant wait for Avendaño feature film debut, remember you will be hearing from him soon. Aron Soto

Funny and original
exoticopecado22 October 2007
This movie tells the story of a man who wanted to be a luchador, but instead, he built houses, adding bricks to them, of course. He and his partner, a champion dancer of a make up rhythm called "Camarena", discover a group of freaks calling from the death, an Engenieer and his constructors, to find a treasure. The deads come from the ground. The builders and the freaks begin to fight against the zombies, and suddenly the anguish of the encounter, becomes a really funny sequence of heroism and achievement. Besides, it has really great references to classic zombie movies, as the name of the engineer is "Romero", and other details you gotta discover by yourselves. It was selected as the Best Horror Film in London and Congo Festivals, and had a good reception in movie film fests.
