Eight Mexican directors unite to bring tales of the most brutally terrifying Mexican traditions and legends to vividly shocking life. MEXICO BARBARO presents haunting stories that have been woven into the fabric of a nation's culture, some passed down through the centuries and some new, but all equally frightening. Stories of boogeymen, trolls, ghosts, monsters, Aztec sacrifices, and of course the Day of the Dead all come together in urban and rural settings to create an anthology that is as original as it is familiar and as important as it is horrifying.

Seasoned liberally with Mexico's thrilling myths and legends, "México Bárbaro" brings together eight different Mexican directors to bring to life their favourite horror. From ancient Aztec rituals to mythical Mayan creatures, and from hideous boogeymen to strippers bent on revenge on the sacred Day of the Dead, this anthology of the bizarre, the grotesque, and the macabre makes sure that it will haunt your dreams, too, forever.—Nick Riganas
