  • ¿Oye Bro Es Un Slasher? Part II: Una Pesadilla de Masacres - Pesadilla Fatal (1991) & Masacre Del Bosque (1996)
    Oct 13 2025

    Well of course there are Mexican slasher films, but several titles that are labeled “slashers” aren’t even really slashers at all!

    In the 2nd of 4 part episodes of “Oye Bro ¿Es Un Slasher?”, hosts Armando & Joey stab into:

    Pesadilla Fatal aka El Intruso (1991)

    • 80’s mexican pop sensation Tatiana stars as a blind girl being stalked by her father’s killer who’s weapon of choice is a finger-knife glove.

    Masacre En El Bosque (1996)

    • A group of friends head out to a forest home for a fun weekend, but it quickly becomes a deadly weekend instead when 2 bloodthirsty psychopaths are on the loose! One is an escaped mental patient and the other has very close ties to the forest home.

    Speaking of multiple psychos! Henry Silva & Nathan Valiente join in on the bloodbath with their thoughts on both films & pick out which one is slasher and which is not.

  • Oye Bro ¿Es Un Slasher? Part 1: Panico En El Bosque (1990) & Bosque De Muerte (1993)
    Oct 6 2025

    Well of course there are Mexican slasher films, but several titles that are labeled “slashers” aren’t even really slashers at all!

    In the 1st of 4 part episodes of “Oye Bro ¿Es Un Slasher?”, hosts Armando & Joey slash into:

    Panico En El Bosque (1990)

    • set in a national park (or Bosque De Chapultepec), a killer is terrorizing park-goers and other troubles go on in the forest as well. The unseen vagrant killer seems to be protective of children & wants to keep any kind of trouble out of the park.

    Bosque De Muerte (1993)

    • a group of young adults head out for a weekend trip to the secluded forest home of “Silvia”, who hasn’t been at the home since her mother died under mysterious circumstances and is estranged from her father. Just when the trip seems to be going normal, a storm suddenly hits & someone is stalking the group and one by one they end up killed. Silvia & her childhood friend/forest ranger “El Jaguar” must try to find a way to escape the killer.

    And to make the executions of these 2 films even more tasteful, we invited Lance & Erica of the Unsung Horrors podcast with a pre-recording of their thoughts on the films.

    Watch Panico En El Bosque (1990), ripped from Armando’s VHS copy:

  • Caminos de Zacatecas, Tamaulipas y Michoacán: Mexican Home State Films
    Sep 16 2025

    To celebrate the independence of Mexico (Mexican Independence Day 09/16), hosts Armando & Joey discuss films that are set in the Mexican home states where their families are from.

    • Joey discusses the action-packed crime film “Mafia De Nuevo Laredo (1991)”, which was filmed & set in Nuevo Laredo, Tamaulipas.

    The second film is the gritty, deep-cut Chili Western “Los Marcados (1971)”, set in Chicomostoc, Zacatecas. Stars legendary Mexican singer & actor Antonio Aguilar.

    • Armando discusses the regional crime obscurity “Las 12 Tumbas (1990)”, filmed & set in Tlalpujahua, Michoacán (we say the city name wrong at first, sorry).

    And lastly, the very musical & light on plot “Caminos De Michoacán (1979)” is also discussed. Filmed in various cities around Northern California & Uruapan, Michoacán.
