100 cries of terror (1964)
Very rare Mexican gothic horror from director, Ramon Obon. I have to profess to a yielding soft spot for Mexican horror; as even the worst schlocker from south of the border generally has a certain special something to amuse even the most jaded psychotronic junkie, and ‘100 Cries of Terror’ is unlikely to disappoint. This atmospheric compendium comprises of two bone rattlin’ supernatural yarns, with the latter tale clearly being inspired by Poe’s premature burial. Both stories have considerable merit, but the ‘Cripta De Terror’ segment is a truly unusual and decidedly effective foray into ice-veined, sepulchral horror. Highly recommended.
