1968. A turbulent period in Mexico, specifically on the political end of the spectrum. A new movement was on the rise, with demands made for a change to the authoritarian rule that was the Mexican norm for generations. Known in Mexico as El Movimiento Estudiantil (The Student Movement), it wasn’t long before the Mexican government acted, quashing the movement in an attack that is now remembered as the infamous Tlalteloco Massacre in October of 1968. Just like that, the steadily rising movement for the youth of Mexico was quelled in practically in an instant; a brutal display of the Mexican government’s power.
Today, one of the most prominent artifacts of that era that we may still use as a window into the growing rebellion of Mexican youth in the 60s exists as the 1968 Gothic supernatural horror film, Hasta el viento tiene miedo (Even the Wind is Afraid in English).

Latin American powerhouse Btf Media and Mexico’s Morbido Group have initiated principal photography in Mexico City on “La Exorcista,” a new feature hailing from famed genre director Adrían García Bogliano and starring María Evoli.
The film marks another expansive move by Btf as it drivbes into feature film production, building on its roster of high-level series such as “Hasta que te conocí” and “El César.” “La Exorcista” also represents Evoli’s highest-profile starring role since she burst onto the scene five years ago in Emiliano Rocha Minter’s “We Are the Flesh,” which was endorsed by Alejandro González Iñarritu and Alfonso Cuarón.
“La Exorcista” is directed by the versatile Bogliano, a founding father of the modern Argentine horror scene. His more recent features include “Here Comes The Devil” (2012), “Night of The Wolf” (2014), and “Juega Conmigo” (2021). Bogliano wrote the screenplay along with Christian Cueva and Ricardo Farías (“La Culpa es...

Last year I was very happy to see Jirón (Shred), a new documentary by Christian Cueva about Mexican filmmaker Carlos Enrique Taboada. It tells the story of his final film, which disappeared before anyone had a chance to see it. Now Mexico City will get to see Jirón, as it will make its local debut this Saturday, December 26. To celebrate, we are happy to debut a brand new poster. Here's what I wrote, in part, about the movie in my review: "As the 'making of' story of Jirón de niebla is told, director Cueva unfolds the history of Taboada's career, cutting back and forth from the two main narratives, each thread shedding light on the other, along with a third strand that follows a...

Full disclosure: I was completely ignorant of Mexican filmmaker Carlos Enrique Taboada before watching this movie. Thus, Jirón (Shred), a new documentary by Christian Cueva, proved to be educational, fascinating, and compelling, not only because it explores the disappearance of Taboada's final film, but also by making clear why it's a tragedy. Nowadays it's common thinking that every movie ever made must be available in one form or another, either streaming on the internet or on some form of physical media. The reality, of course, is far different. The vast majority of silent films have disappeared entirely, and many sound movies are no longer available to the public in any form, while others exist in home video formats that are becoming increasingly rare. The case...

The original Más Negro Que la Noche, or Darker Than Night, was written and directed by the late Carlos Enrique Taboada in 1975. Widely considered as one of the most important Mexican horror films ever made, it is everything this new 3D remake is not: simple yet effective, atmospheric, coherent, memorable, and serious. Sure, we all can have fun as the characters say the title more than once, but nonetheless, Taboada's film is a solemn take of a classic ghost/haunted house story. Cut to 2014, and we've got not only the characters repeating the title "Más Negro Que la Noche", but also a complete fest of ridiculous material that, needless to say, will piss off those who respect the 1975 version. Respecting the original premise,...

1975 saw the release of a Mexican film called Darker than the Night (Mas Negro que la Noche), which has just been remade not here in America, but rather over in Mexico. Well, that's a new one, am I right?!
Billed as Mexico’s initial live-action stereoscopic 3D movie, the remake of Carlos Enrique Taboada’s shock-fest is set for release sometime at the tail end of this year, and a trailer has just hit the net. It's loaded with spooky imagery so be sure to turn those lights off and check it out!
Written and directed by Henry Bedwell, the film stars Zuira Vega, Adriana Louvier, Erendira Ibarra, Ona Casamiquela, Margarita Saenz, Lucia Guilmain, and Josemaria Torre.
Synopsis
When four women move into an old house left by one woman's aunt, strange things begin to happen. Bizarre voices, visions of ghosts, and mysterious noises lead them to discover the darkest...

The Americans are the only ones doing remakes! This is a redux of a Mexican horror film from 1969 of the same name by Carlos Enrique Taboada whose done quite a bit of film down there since the 1950's. I get the feeling the original is a cult favorite, and while I don't know much about it, the entire thing is freely available in 12 parts on youtube. El Libero already has theatrical distribution down in Mexico, but no word on when it's getting released.
