Movie Reviews of Santo en el Museo de Cera/Santo y Blue Demon en el Mundo de Los Muertos
Movie Review: Great Santo Double Bill
Summary: 4 Stars
Lucha libre movies are usually released on DVDs as double features and all too often, a strong film is saddled with a weak one. This DVD, on the other hand, contains two strong Santo vehicles that are from opposite ends of the 1960s. "Santo en el museo de cera" is a black-and-white riff on "House of Wax" that features some moody cinematography and some pretty effective creepy moments in the first half. This is one of the better-known Santo films partly due to its being released in a dubbed version for American TV, and partly because it's one of the tighter-constructed movies. It's almost like a live-action comic book, which is precisely the point. This is a superior B-movie, close in spirit to the Santo comic books. It's easy to understand why some Europeans thought that Santo was a superhero created for the movies, especially after you watch him in this film. "Santo y Blue Demon en el mundo de los muertos" is a supernaturally-themed color film involving reincarnation and colonial-era witchcraft. At times it reminded me of the 'Dark Shadows' soap opera that was popular around that time and I wonder if that was the idea. Blue Demon has a very small role in this movie, despite what the DVD box will lead you to believe. There's a lot of imagination in this movie, and some really exciting fights closer in spirit to a brawl rather than typical lucha moves. I especially liked the sequences in the World of the Dead toward the end of the movie. Unfortunately, "El mundo de los muertos" has lower production values than "El museo de cena" which robs some of the more outre ideas of some much-needed punch.
No subtitles (sadly) - not even in Spanish! Still, for any lucha libre fan - especially one who remembers when VHS copies of these films were very hard to come by - this is a good deal and one of the better pairings to come out of Lionsgate. The very best lucha libre movies are like Silver Age comicbooks brought to life, and "El museo de cena" is one of the all-time best lucha movies.
