    About Mexican Horror Movies

    Mexican cinema

    Mexican cinema had a Golden Age in the 1940s and 50s and a second surge from the late 1990s, when Cuarón, del Toro, and Iñárritu moved between Mexican production and Hollywood without abandoning either.

    Horror

    Horror is cinema's most reliable laboratory — cheap to make, endlessly reinvented, and unusually good at smuggling in subtext. Every few years a national wave redefines it: Italian giallo, Japanese J-horror, the Korean thriller, American indie horror.
