Viewing Notes

Fourth movie in the TR movie marathon and one I almost guessed for the contest. Was off by one movie! Apparently this the second Mexican sound horror film after La Llorna, if you want to classify this as horror (I wouldn’t).

4:45 p.m.
Hint: Early sound horror film from South of the border

Definitely more drama with a few thriller type sequences including the finale. Good movie.
