Story
Eight tales based on the most brutally terrifying Mexican traditions and legends, an anthology of haunting stories woven into the fabric of the Mexican culture, some told through the centuries and some new, but all equally frightening. Bogeymen, trolls, ghosts, monsters, all brought to life. Time for Aztec sacrifices. This is the Day of the Dead.
Summary
Eight Mexican filmmakers unite to bring eight terrifying tales rooted in Mexico's rich cultural traditions. This anthology, 'Barbarous Mexico', weaves together stories that have haunted generations and those born of contemporary fears, all bound by their brutal authenticity. From the rural shadows stalked by legendary bogeymen to urban encounters with vengeful ghosts, each tale is a chilling exploration of Mexico's folklore. Among them, ancient Aztec sacrifices rise again, and the vibrant celebration of the Day of the Dead takes on a darker hue. This isn't just horror; it's a terrifying journey into the very soul of Mexico.
