A flawed affair from Alex de la Iglesia that benefits from one thing: Javier Bardem playing a crazy ruthless mexican santero who rapes american teen girls and makes human sacrifices. Bardem owns the movie in every way.
Right after the success of his masterpiece, the dark comedy "El Dia De la Bestia", Spanish director Alex De la Iglesia took a stab at Hollywood with this wild ride of marvelous insanity and bizarre entertainment. Sadly, the resulting movie was severely cut in the U.S. and the U.K...( read more)
Boring. Went to see this because it was a follow up on one of the characters from Wild at Heart, but it couldn't be further in tone. Maybe I should see it again after viewing a lot more cult movies, but I remember sitting in my seat excited to see this, and by the middle being ...( read more)
Cult movie not for my taste. I prefer El Día de la Bestia. The story, although crazy and macabre, totally fails for me. I know that sex and violence are essential factors in Iglesia's style, but there was absolutely no point with this sh!t. Fortunately, this was not the beginning...( read more)

One of the funniest movies I have ever seen, but it's not a comedy. I was in NYC with some high school friends and this movie was on in the hotel. This was one weird movie and we were laughing so hard that security came to our room twice!
Another Alex de la Iglesia film. Also pretty good, though not as great as many others.
I sort of disagree on the woman beign taken as the main protagonist: her name on the movie, her image almost covering all the poster, etc. Cause if you take a look at one of the other names in ...( read more)
This board looks lonely. Be the first to talk about "Dance with the Devil (Perdita Durango)" !
