Featured review
Brutally painful to watch...
Now, I stumbled upon this 2014 Mexican horror anthology here in 2021 by random chance and sheer luck. And I have to say that I was immediately lured in by the movie's cover. There is just something fascinating about that face paint that the Mexicans have for the Day of the Dead festival. Needless to say that I hadn't even heard about "México Bárbaro" prior to getting to sit down to watch it.
And I have to admit that I was a bit skeptic about it, given the fact that it was an anthology. Why? Well, let's just face it, horror anthologies tend to be rather bad most of the time. But still, I opted to sit down and watch "México Bárbaro" on the chance that I would be in for something akin to "Creep Show".
Needless to say that I didn't find myself in for something even remotely close to the entertainment level that "Creepshow" brought to the horror anthology genre. Nay, "México Bárbaro" was a massive swing and a miss. I suppose that perhaps you need to be familiar with Mexican folklore, superstitions and legends in order to fully appreciate "México Bárbaro". I am not familiar with that, and I must admit that "México Bárbaro" failed entirely to entertain me. And I gave up just about 30 minutes into the ordeal. Yeah, it was that boring!
"México Bárbaro" is not an anthology that I will be attempting to watch a second time, because the 30 minutes I sat through was brutal and pure torture.
My rating of "México Bárbaro" lands on a one out of ten stars.
