Crisobal
(Miguel Angel Rodriguez) is a poor horse rancher with big ambitions.
After urged by Tara, a mysterious sorceress, he yields to temptation
and steals a statue filled with expensive gems hoping to win the heart
of a rich girl named Susana. But Crisobal has been cursed by the witch
[reminiscent of the Paul Naschy films] and is destined to become
a werewolf by the light of the full moon. There's lots of fog and cool
cave hideouts with evil female ghosts and enough bloodletting for the
gorehounds.
Rene
Cardona III - son of Rene Cardona Jr [TREASURE
OF THE AMAZON] , grandson of legendary Mexican grindhouse king
Rene Cardona [NIGHT
OF THE BLOODY APES] - wants only to entertain his audience like
his father and grandfather did for decades. Some critics argue that
he simply doesn't have the talent of his predecessors. But, while Rene
III may lack some of the family's cinematic finesse, he is dedicated
to the horror genre (also see his superb VACATION
OF TERROR) and he whole-heartedly embrace pop-culture [perhaps
to a fault].
