TERROR MEXA DOUBLE FEATURE! How lucky are we that we get to celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month AND spooky season all at once? 🇲🇽👻 Join us for two horror films by Mexican directors!🕯️ We'll start with a witchy 1977 cult classic drenched in surrealism and sacrilege. In a crumbling convent where whispers of the devil grow louder than prayers, a young orphan girl ignites a storm of hysteria and horror. Long hailed as a hidden gem of Mexican exploitation cinema, this film blends religious imagery, expressionist visuals, and a wild, unholy energy that feels closer to an exorcism than a story. It's blood, candles, levitation, and liberation.
🌒 Then, we'll journey into the 2006 dark fairy tale by a BELOVED Mexican director. Set against the backdrop of fascist Spain, this modern classic follows a young girl who stumbles into a world of mythical creatures, cryptic rituals, and moral trials. With unforgettable creatures and a tone that weaves tenderness through terror, this film cements its creator—an Oscar-winning master of fantasy and folklore—as a modern myth-maker. Beneath its magical surface lies a deeply human story about resistance, grief, and the cost of disobedience.
👻 Consider this our Halloween bash! Come in costumes--any costumes!
