Why watch the movie Santa Sangre?
"Filmed in Mexico (though spoken in English) and restored for its 30th anniversary, 'Santa Sangre' is now considered a cult classic of horror, directed by Chilean Alejandro Jodorowsky ('El Topo'), and co-written by him alongside Claudio Argento (producer of Dario Argento's 'Suspiria') and Roberto Leoni ('A Man to Respect'). Laden with deep symbolism that has inspired a myriad of psychological and philosophical analyses over the years, this is the kind of movie that will generate an avid fan base or provoke a resounding rejection due to its aesthetics, an unusual mixture between psychedelia, surrealism, and the strange, something like 'The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari' via Tod Browning's 'Freaks' with a B-movie look. With performances from Axel Jodorowsky and Mexican Blanca Guerra ('Danzón', by María Novaro), it is a hypnotic experience that, regardless of your reaction, you won't easily forget. Additionally, this restored version includes extras on iTunes and Spamflix."
