Awesome!!! Gory and plot twist toward the end was unexpected but I should have seen it! Loved El Gigante!
Not much to this short, it's basically Texas Chainsaw Massacre with a lucha theme. Good gore effects and make-up, but pretty unsubstantial story-wise.
Gigi Saul Guerrero kills it in this short film. Remaining interesting and gory from beginning to end, I recommend this grotesque adventure to anybody looking for an unsettling, stomach churning 15 minutes of life.
Don't listen to these guys. Watch it. I want to be invited to this crews carne asada.
Nice to see a wetback get what he deserves for crossing illegally.
