More about the book

Exploring the evolution of Mexican "trash cinema" post-1968, this work delves into the shift from masked wrestler films to darker, more explicit narratives that reflect the era's upheaval. It examines six notable films—El Topo, Mansion of Madness, Alucarda, Guyana, Crime of the Century, Birds of Prey, and Santa Sangre—highlighting their avant-garde and exploitative qualities, and how they capture disturbing visions of modern society.
