Accion mutante (1993)



Took me a while to find this, but it was well worth the effort. Bloodshed, mayhem, lunatics and love make up this celluloid of hilarity and utter deprivation. Yeah, this move is all over the place and often nonsensical and it works for it all the more. I happen to be a big fan of movies that cater toward its aesthetics of surrealism and the absurd. It's what I love so much about 80's and 90's horror cinema. I liked the energy this had, to the point where every character, even those meant to be only a secondary (or less) role was dynamic and just had a life of its own. There are however certain elements where it's evident there's an influence from other films, but it did a nice job combining those elements and utilizing them in a creative way. One gripe I have is about the music used in some scenes. Which with different and better choices it would've heightened the action more and made it that much more awesome. Also, in the editing department, there were certain shots that could've used less time and others more. But other than that I would say this was a success and this director has my undivided attention. Then again, he always had it.
