Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaCerebro del Mal is a very unusual Santo film in many ways: in the first place, Santo is never called "Santo" in the picture at all! He is ONLY referred to as "El Enmascarado," while the other masked wrestler (Fernando Osés--who has a brief dual role in the final scene) is called "El Incógnito" ONCE. Santo has practically no dialogue (in fact, the dialogue for all of the characters for the whole film would probably only take up about 3 typed pages), is given no "origin," is not depicted as a professional wrestler (there are no arena bouts included), and is relatively incidental to the plot. Santo himself, looking uncharacteristically slim (compared to later films), appears rather awkward and ill-at-ease.

Featured review
A somewhat underwhelming start for El Santo.
There isnt really anything special about "Cerebro del Mal" except for the fact that its the first Santo film. Its a very typical mad doctor flick with some luchadores thrown in. Decent performances by the main cast and entertaining fighting sequences are some of the best aspects of this movie.
Its very obvious that El Santo wasnt being made into a star yet, his voice isnt even dubbed like in later films, he just falls into the background for most of this movie. People driving, sneaking around and kidnapping others are some of the things that take most of the screentime, not the best or most enjoyable entry but its enough to keep you amused.
