| Inhalt: |
These four macabre titles from the vaults of one of Mexico's best-known film companies offer uniquely Mexican takes on the ghosts, witches, and monsters familiar to fans of horror cinema and fiction.
Fernando Méndez's Black Pit of Dr. M (Misterios de ultratumba) sees a doctor make a pact with his dying coIleague in order to learn the secrets of the afterIife. ln Chano Urueta's The Witch's Mirror (EI espejo de Ia bruja), a murderer is tormented by the ghost of his dead wife, whilst in Urueta's The Brainiac (El barón del terror), a nobleman executed for necromancy returns in diabolical form to eradicate the Iineage of his kiIIers... by sucking out their brains! FinalIy, in RafaeI Baledón's The Curse of the Crying Woman (La maldición de Ia LIorona), a young bride visits her aunt's Gothic mansion, where she finds that she is the descendent of one of Mexican foIklore's most terrifying figures.
With their star-studded casts, beautiful photography, eerie production design, and bone-chilIing atmosphere, these fiIms have terrified audiences for decades, and are now avaiIable in this strictIy Iimited, individuaIly numbered BIu-ray box set, which incIudes an array of new extra features - incIuding four new audio commentaries, and rare EngIish-language dub tracks - as well as a set of art cards and a fully illustrated 100-page book."
