REPOST: Tintorera…Tiger Shark (1977)
EDITOR’S NOTE: This originally ran as part of our Bastard Sons of Jaws week on December 22, 2018. Seeing as how it is a Mexican shark film, how could we not bring it back for leftovers? When I was a kid in the 1970’s, I was sitting in a B. Dalton’s reading — parents routinely […]
El Pantano de las Animas (1957)
A small Mexican village is dealing with not just the death of a man, but the fact that his body has disappeared too.

That movie, made for $13,000, brought back twenty times its cost. When other studios innovated, FVI either brought in films from foreign lands — […]

Psiquiatra is a therapist who is abducted by a masked man one night, who takes her to the woods, where he assaults her and leaves her to die. However — and this is incredibly upsetting — she seems to like it and looks for a former patient of hers, promising him “no holds barred” sex […]
