SATANIC HISPANICS - Review
DISTRIBUTOR: Dread
SYNOPSIS: : A police raid on a house in El Paso reveals it is full of dead Latinos, except for one handcuffed survivor. Taking him to the station for questioning, he calls himself The Traveler, and he spins a tale where he claims the lands are full of magic. He talks about the horrors he’s encountered in his long time on this earth, about portals to other worlds, mythical creatures, demons and the undead. Stories that are based in Latin American legends. As they attempt to unravel any truth from his tales that could aid them, The Traveler warns them that time is ticking and they could all be dead soon if they don’t release him.
REVIEW: Filmmakers Mike Mendez and Alejandro Brugues team up with three other Latino filmmakers to deliver the first Latino horror anthology. SATANIC HISPANICS features five tales that reflect a broad spectrum of genre themes, all uniquely Latino. What Robert Rodriguez did for the action genre with “El Mariachi’ and the subsequent sequel “Desperado,” or the early films of Guillermo del Toro did for fantasy/horror films, Mendez and Brugues provide exclusive opportunity for these talent filmmakers, in front of and behind the camera, to bring their work to a wider audience.
All five stories are memorable cinematic experiences. I could dissect each of these tales individually, but that’s for another time. Each is distinctly Latino, either placing their spin on a traditional genre theme or crafting contemporary tales based on Latin myths and legends. Some are skilled dives into the darkest depths of the genre, some are punctuated with moments of dark comedy, others are over the top gory satire in a tradition of “Evil Dead Two.” Like any good genre tale, the stories span themes of social commentary and satire. All five stories are expertly crafted, from the plots to the dialogue, and will elicit a reaction from the viewer that goes from sheer terror to “WTF” as they run the emotional spectrum. The collection strikes a nice balance between Spanish language and English, and I was satisfied with the translation of the subtitles.
From the visual and special effects to the cinematography and editing, SATANIC HISPANICS features impressive production values. There is a similarity to the style of all five that allows them to feel as if they are all part of the same universe. They are adult grim and gory tales of terror that possess subtle individual touches of each filmmaker making for an engaging experience. There are excellent creature designs, my personal favorite is the final reveal of the being in “The Traveler.” Likewise, the music and score, from all the contributors, creates a wholly unforgettable soundtrack. These filmmakers transcend the mastery of their technical craft by capturing riveting performances from their actors.
SATANIC HISPANICS presents a wonderful cast. Efren Ramirez, who plays “The Traveler,” has appeared in numerous tv and film productions, and is probably best known as Pedro in “Napoleon Dynamite.” He delivers a strong, hypnotic performance that draws the viewer in and seamlessly transitions between tales. Hemky Madera is perfect as an aging vampire as he balances comedy and what feels like the drama of a telenovela. Jonah Ray Rodrigues, Christian Rodrigo, and Jacob Vargas are a priceless comedic trio caught up in this absurd horror romp. Each tale has exceptional performances that will linger with the viewer.
I often like to point out how a film based on a novel should inspire the viewer not familiar with the book to seek it out. SATANIC HISPANICS is a rare film where after viewing one should be inspired to seek out the other films of these filmmakers. I thoroughly enjoyed this thrilling scarefest, and would welcome another collection of tales. My only concern would be the frequency of future releases that could diminish the quality of the films and/or the unique viewing experience it presents. Just like the original “Creepshow,” SATANIC HISPANICS has all the qualities to become a horror cult classic.

OMG. I fookin love “In Brugues” & “The Banshees of Inisheren” was equally twisted, gorgeous, & heart wrenching. It was one of TWO films I have actually watched in a theater post COVID (the other was Dr Strange with my Cumbie loving bestie - I did it for her!). And coincidentally I’m spending a day or two of my winter holiday in Ireland on the island it was filmed on. These Variety convos are usually my artsy jam…but Saney I just can’t with that woman & her “directorial skills”. Or do I make some popcorn & watch the car crash of it all?!!
Let's go with popcorn and car crash. Maybe a drinking game whenever you can tell Martin is just humouring her.

Satanic Hispanics: Latin American horror you must watch
Satanic Hispanics, directed by Alejandro Brugues, emerges as a spine-chilling horror film that delves into the realms of folklore, superstition, and the darkest corners of human nature. Brugues, known for his masterful blend of genre and cultural elements, brings his unique vision to this terrifying tale. Set in a small, remote village in Latin America, the film follows a group of young adults who stumble upon an ancient ritual site deep in the jungle. Ignoring warnings from the locals, they unwittingly awaken an ancient evil force that has been dormant for centuries. As night falls, strange occurrences plague the group, from inexplicable whispers in the darkness to unsettling visions that blur the lines between reality and nightmare. It becomes evident that they are not alone in the jungle, as they find themselves hunted by a malevolent presence with a sinister agenda.
Brugues weaves elements of Latin American folklore into the narrative, drawing upon myths of demonic entities and ancient curses. The characters must confront their deepest fears and darkest secrets as they fight for survival against forces beyond their comprehension. At the heart of the film is a commentary on the clash between tradition and modernity, as well as the consequences of cultural appropriation and exploitation. Brugues skillfully navigates these themes while delivering heart-pounding suspense and visceral scares. The cast delivers powerful performances, capturing the escalating sense of terror and desperation as the night wears on. With stunning cinematography that captures both the beauty and menace of the jungle setting, Satanic Hispanics immerses viewers in a world where ancient evils lurk just beneath the surface. As the group's numbers dwindle and their grip on reality slips further away, they must confront the horrifying truth about the true nature of the evil they have unleashed. In a final showdown with the forces of darkness, they must draw upon all their strength and courage to overcome the terror that threatens to consume them. Satanic Hispanics is a chilling and thought-provoking horror film that pushes the boundaries of the genre while paying homage to the rich tapestry of Latin American culture. With its atmospheric setting, compelling characters, and spine-tingling scares, it stands as a testament to Alejandro Brugues's talent as a filmmaker and storyteller.

Soi kèo nhận định Mirandes vs Fuenlabrada, 02h00 ngày 28/5
Soi kèo nhận định Mirandes vs Fuenlabrada, 02h00 ngày 28/5
Chỉ còn một lượt trận cuối cùng, giải hạng hai của quốc nội Tây Ban Nha cũng sẽ khép lại. Đến thời điểm hiện tại, đã rất nhiều đội xác định được mùa giải tới sẽ đi về đâu. Mirandes vs Fuenlabrada là hai trong số đó nên trận đấu ở vòng 42 sắp tới chỉ mang tính chất thủ tục.
Soi kèo Mirandes vs Fuenlabrada
Soi kèo nhận định Huddersfield vs Nottingham, 22h30 ngày 29/05/2022
Soi kèo nhận định Real Sociedad B vs Zaragoza, 02h00 ngày 28/05/2022
Soi kèo, nhận định Liverpool vs Real Madrid, 02h00 ngày 29/05/2022
Sân Estadio Municipal de Anduva của Mirandes sẽ nơi chứng kiến trận đấu cuối cùng trong khuôn khổ La Liga 2 giữa hai đội bóng Mirandes vs Fuenlabrada.
Mirandes đã trụ hạng thành công sau trận thắng cách biệt 4-0 trước UD Ibiza ở vòng 40. Hiện tại Mirandes có 49 điểm sau 41 vòng đấu, tạm xếp ở vị trí thứ 15 trên BXH cách nhóm nguy hiểm tới 9 điểm.
Không rớt hạng nhưng không đồng nghĩa đây là một mùa giải thành công của thầy trò Joseba Etxeberria. Mặc dù mới quay lại hạng 2 Tây Ban Nha ba mùa giải nhưng ở hai mùa giải trước Mirandes còn cán đích ở top giữa của BXH. Mùa giải hiện tại, Mirandes lại rơi xuống nửa dưới của BXH, đây là điều mà chẳng một CĐV nào mong muốn.
Mirandes từng có những khoảng thời gian thi đấu thật sự thăng hoa nhưng 6 vòng gần nhất, Mirandes bất ngờ chững lại. 4 trận thua liên tiếp khiến cho đội bóng bị đánh bật ra khỏi top 10. Vòng 40, Mirandes có một chiến thắng tưng bừng 4-0 nhưng ngay lượt trận sau đó họ lại nhận thất bại 0-2 trước Girona. Thời điểm hiện tại, khi đã chắc chắn có vé trụ hạng hy vọng Mirandes sẽ thi đấu cởi mở hơn và cống hiến cho khán giả nhà một trận thắng mãn nhãn.
Soi kèo Mirandes vs Fuenlabrada
Đội khách trong trận đấu tới Fuenlabrada đã không còn hy vọng ở mùa giải hiện tại. Mùa giải 2019/2020 khi Fuenlabrada quay lại đấu trường La Liga 2 đã được nhận xét là một con “hắc mã” của giải đấu khi cán đích ở vị trí thứ 8 và chỉ thua đúng 1 điểm so với nhóm tranh vé Play off lên La Liga.
Mùa giải 2020/21 tùy không quá xuất sắc nhưng với vị trí thứ 11 cũng đủ để đội bóng tiếp tục nuôi hy vọng. Khó ai có thể ngờ rằng Fuenlabrada là 1 trong 2 cái tên được xác định sớm nhất phải xuống hạng ở mùa tới. Hiện tại, Fuenlabrada chỉ có cho mình 33 điểm xếp ở vị trí số 21 trên BXH.
Nguyên nhân đến từ chuỗi 7 trận thất bại liên tiếp từ vòng 33 đến vòng 39. Vòng 40 Fuenlabrada có chiến thắng trước Lugo nhưng đã quá muộn, Fuenlabrada chỉ có thể cố gắng vào mùa sau.
Nhận định kèo Châu Á: Mirandes (-0.25) FT
Lượt đi hai đội đã chia điểm nhưng đến lượt về, tính chất trận đấu đã khác. Mirandes có thể còn động lực thi đấu là cống hiến cho khán giả một trận cầu đẹp mắt trước khi giải đấu khép lại nhưng Fuenlabrada thì không còn bất cứ một động lực nào. Do đó, chốt kèo chấp này nên chọn chủ nhà Mirandes.
Chọn Mirandes thắng kèo Châu Á.
Soi kèo Tài Xỉu Mirandes vs Fuenlabrada: Xỉu 2.75
Một trận đấu diễn ra trong bối cảnh cả hai đã hết động lực thi đấu, rất khó để có những pha lên bóng dồn dập hay cạnh tranh quyết liệt. Nếu khán giả muốn chứng kiến một cơn mưa bàn thắng là điều khó có thể. Với kèo Tài Xỉu nên chốt Xỉu.
Chọn kèo Tài Xỉu: Xỉu 2.75 FT.
Dự đoán tỷ số trận đấu Mirandes 2-0 Fuenlabrada
Phong độ Mirandes vs Fuenlabrada trước trận
Nhận định trận đấu Mirandes vs Fuenlabrada:
Những bàn thắng của Mirandes thường đến từ rất sớm. Do đó trận đấu tới có khả năng có bàn thắng từ Hiệp 1.
Một trận đấu mang tính thủ tục nên sẽ không có những pha tranh cướp bóng quá quyết liệt. Do đó số thẻ phạt cũng sẽ không nhiều, chọn Xỉu cho anh em nào chơi tài xỉu thẻ phạt.
Số trái góc hai đội được hưởng trung bình 3-4 trái/ trận.
Đội hình dự kiến Mirandes vs Fuenlabrada
Mirandes: Ramirez, Arroyo, Vicente, Onaindia, Garcia, Meseguer, Garrido, Carreira, Brugue, Marques, Riquelme
Fuenlabrada: Morro, Iribas, Diame, Sotillos, Valentin, Ndubusi, Bravo, Adrian, Amigo, Leon, Bouldini
