Summary
  1. "Following social upheaval and tragedy in 1968, Mexican horror cinema shifted away from masked wrester flicks and toward darker, more explicit films, which can be called "avant-exploitation." This work covers six of those films, from 1968's El Topo to 1988's Santa Sangre"--Provided by publisher.
