"Pilar Franco" (Adriana Catano) is a film maker who desperately wants an opportunity to showcase her abilities. So one day she sees a mystic on television named "Roque" (Roberto Montesinos) purporting to be able to cure people through spiritual means and she decides to film a documentary on him. Even though he is clearly a phony he figures he could use a little publicity so he agrees. Yet as it so happens the first patient that comes in named "Ana Marie" (Monika Munoz) has a serious problem which eventually leads both Pilar and Roque to a Brazilian high priestess who is very skillful in the black art of voodoo—and unlike Roque she is the real McCoy. Now rather than reveal any more of this film and risk spoiling it for those who haven't seen it I will just say that I honestly didn't expect too much from this movie. But after the first 10 minutes or so I realized that it was much better than I expected it to be as it combined touches of humor with a rather decent zombie plot. Additionally, the fact that both Monika Munoz and Adriana Catano were rather attractive certainly didn't hurt either. In any case, I liked this movie and therefore rate it as slightly above average.

Scared young Ana Maria (a sound and sympathetic performance by Monika Munoz) hires evil and powerful voodoo priestess Mana Luna (robustly played with wicked gusto by Nadia Rowinsky) to whip up a special potion to transform her abusive husband Antonio (a perfectly hateful Khotan) into a better man. Unfortunately, said potion transforms Antonio into a zombie instead. Ana Maria enlists the assistance of spunky aspiring reporter Pilar Franco (a nicely spirited turn by Adriana Catano) and amiable charlatan spiritual guide Roque (a marvelously jolly and charismatic performance by Roberto Montesinos) to resolve the situation. Writer/director Ricardo Islas relates the entertaining story at a brisk pace, stages the zombie attack scenes with flair, delivers plenty of amusing moments of good-natured humor (the constant banter between Pilar and Roque is quite snappy and often hilarious), and generates a good deal of tension and spooky atmosphere in the nightmarish last third. Moreover, it's acted with zest by a capable and engaging cast; the warm, funny, and lively chemistry between Catano and Montesinos in particular keeps the picture humming throughout. Mariana De Silva supplies a little extra spice as Roque's brash secretary. The Latino cultural aspect gives the movie its own neat distinctive flavor while the pertinent social commentary on such hot button issues as domestic violence and exploiting illegal immigrants as cheap slave labor provides an additional substantial dramatic punch. Both Christian Herrera's sharp cinematography and Aritz Villodas' melodic score are up to par. A fun and offbeat fright flick.

I never learn, do not buy a DVD which is number 68 in the charts and expect it to be any good.This film with what seems to be Spanish actors was dreadful, it starts with a woman getting beat up by her drunk husband and then she goes to see this man who advertises himself on the TV as some sort of helper for anything you want. The woman goes to see him and asks if he can help her with her wife beating husband but he says I cannot, she then goes to another source a woman she reads about in the paper.She then returns to the man and tells him shes killed her husband after giving him a potion from this woman, unfortunately he keeps coming back at night to see her to which all of a sudden a noise and the husband is there a zombie no less! He attacks them but they get away and go to the mans friend's house.There is also another female who wants to film this man so she tags along, that night the zombie finds them and attacks again and again they get away.The first hour of this film is mainly what I outlined you only see this one zombie and its boring!!! The last half hour they go to this woman's place (the one who gave the potion) and find she has zombies in her backyard so like most films go in her house and get caught and tied up and wait for the zombies to come out.The ending is all the zombies die because the woman made them with this potion and voodoo and when their effigies fall into a fire the zombies die smoking!! I found the acting wooden the story too tedious so my advice is please check that any film you want to buy you look it up beforehand on sites like IMDb, I wasted money and time on this piece of crap.

I hadn't heard much about this flick before watching it, all I knew was what it said on the back cover of the DVD.I only recognized one of the actresses, but my mom recognized a bunch of them from soap operas or something. Which probably explains some of the overacting. I can forgive overacting if the actors are likable and the plot doesn't bore me, unfortunately, the beginning of this low budgeter I found very slowwww.And yes, this starts off like a drama. Reporter is doing a piece on domestic violence and somehow finds herself in a warlock's office! There she meets an abused woman and soon the "action" starts.I won't lie, I fast forwarded a lot of this movie, probably the first 45 minutes, and I kept looking at the clock on my wall. Eventually mentioned reporter and warlock get trapped and we finally get to see some zombies. Thankfully, the ending was pure horror. In the tradition of a group of people (in this case 3) trying to escape from the attacking undead and the woman who controls them.We get a few fighting scenes, some zombies eating people, a couple of scenes of a woman trapped in house with her dead husband and then the movie ends.I've seen worse. Not a bad movie, I felt I was watching a Lifetime movie of the week, except for the final 20 or so minutes when it switches from drama to supernatural horror.Do I recommend it? Nope, unless you have nothing else to watch.
