Viewing Notes

Another interesting Santo story marred by bad direction. I dig the supernatural aspect with his 17th century self and going back in time to investigate. But it’s not a time travel movie. A scientist has a machine where Santo’s spirit can see the past. It’s wild. His arch enemy from 1603 comes to the present time to fight Santo.
