Freaktana A Major Disappointment

ThedevilChoose When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

Tobias Burrows It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

Zandra The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

Jair HCastillo It is not scary, nor funny, is just dull and simply stupid, basically all the segments seem amateurish at best, seriously, i have seen better works from film students than most of the shorts in this piece of garbage. Two stars out of ten, and that is just because of the good gore in one of the segments.As a Mexican I apologize to the international horror community for this embarrassment .Please, do yourself a favor and skip this one.

albertomtz Here are seven horror shorts that lack horror, premise, dialogue, even sound at times. The whole collection is completely uninspired, the stories are poorly developed and executed.While photography may rescue part of some of these shorts, some just come short of everything, just like high school projects. Harsh? Maybe. True? Completely. Take for instance "La Cosa Más Preciada (The Most Precious Thing), the acting is bad, the dialogues are hands down some of the worst I've ever heard in cinema history, the whole thing was given an instagram-like "vintage" filter. This one in particular is preposterous. The rest of the shorts, whilst more professional, are still pretty bad and absurd, there is no heart to be found. If the project was done by amateur kids, then fine, I'd give it 4 stars, but these are - self?- deemed- directors.Also, the only Mexican thing on this are the assets (directors, actors, writers, producers, settings), there are no real legends or myths in here, just perhaps loosely 'inspired from'.My conclusion is that a couple of Mexican rejects from 'ABC's of Death' decided to take matters in their own hands... disaster ensued of course.I must say I was very excited to watch this since I first heard of the project back in early 2014. I was looking forward to what 'indie' Mexican directors had up their sleeve since we practically have no recognized mainstream horror directors, but no, I cannot vouch for any of them.

dcarsonhagy "Barbarous Mexico" sure does live up to its name. Found this little known movie On-Demand, and thought I would check it out. I thought its cinematography was way above most movies of this genre. However, I also thought the directors needed to pull back on the reins just a little."Barbarous Mexico" is a horror anthology from south of the border. It tells different stories--some better than others. What I was in complete shock over was its rating. It is amazing this movie received the rating it did. On-Demand listed it as an "R" rating; I thought it should have received an NC-17 rating. Its savagery throughout had me turning away from my television on more than one occasion. And its nightmarish stories do not spare anyone-- including children. Another reviewer apparently saw a lot more in this compilation than I did, but to each his own. WARNING: There have been few movies I have reviewed which I deemed needed to come with this label, but this is one of them. This movie contains full nudity of both sexes, a savage rape, simulated oral rape by a demon (complete with "member"), cannibalism of a child, graphic sexual couplings, and graphic violence. It should not be viewed by anyone UNDER 18.I do not recommend it and I strongly caution all parents before allowing a minor to watch it.

Ricardo Tellez I see the old Mexican films the presence of a soul that inhabits a shadow or a ghost indefinable. I can not explain it, but sorry. When in any latest movie so I find myself realize that ghosts do not die, they live inside us, we are the memory of our ancestors. Each of the segments that make up Mexico Barbarian leads coined iron taste to it. I do not need to understand anything, just to see, hear, feel, shake. His characters are not dead but are no longer here, are trapped in the limbo of an apparent space, sliding down the imaginary walls of our mind. Gothic horror and gore manifest as living penalties. What is our identity? It is not defined but stands in mountains of death, carnal lust, blood sacrifice, the virginal naivety assault, slavery, disappearances, revenge and betrayal. Each of the films is falling on the table as tarot cards."Mexico Barbaro" has this great mysterious power that solves nothing, keeps us from understanding. However presents, through a huge skull radiography, a work of art that outlines the entire beautiful and sinister face of what we are: a nation built on the garden of a cemetery.
