Latino horror anthology hangs wild and loose in its pan-American chills
). However, while the earlier film was solely about Mexican filmmakers, the directors assembled here represent Latino cinema from across the Americas.
The wraparound is provided by Los Angeleno Mike Mendez with the story of the Traveler, a mysterious figure recounting bizarre tales of the supernatural to two disbelieving cops, Detectives Arden and Gibbons . However, those tales never quite find a consistent tone. There is a certain wry humor in opener"Tambien Lo Vi," the excellently chilling entrance from Demián Rugna , who lets a disturbed and lonely landlord channel's Lament Configuration through a Rubik's Cube. It sounds goofy, but Rugna's a master of unease that slowly captivates.
But that mood of suffocating dread is followed by a rapid shift into comedy vampire hijinks in"El Vampiro" from-esque romp in which a cape-and-ruffled-shirt bloodsucker finds himself on the wrong side of daylight saving time. Honestly, with the sense of silliness, if you didn't know better, you'd swear this was Mike"Madman" Mendez at the helm, proving Sánchez should do comedy more often.
But then it's another radical change of tone for Guerrero's"Nahuales," in which a criminal comes face-to-face with a vengeful Madre Tierra . It's a short but elegant political and ecological allegory, but in three segmentshas zipped between high Gothic, hijinks, and activist metaphor.
