Deep Dive

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Cultural

Part of Mexico's 'videohome' boom—direct-to-VHS action-horror hybrids that dominated rental shelves before NAFTA flooded the market with Hollywood imports.

Trivia

Sergio Goyri was a massive telenovela star; this film's existence proves Mexican TV heartthrobs could pivot to corpse-stealing exploitation faster than their American counterparts.
