Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.

if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

The film is interesting in that it weaves many elements together. It is fictional, but it is entertaining. It is entertaining with larger than life elements. Understanding that it was one of the first productions of this scale by these film-makers, I enjoyed the knowledge that it was a small project. Having lived in Northern New Mexico, I enjoyed the excellent camera-work and the way in which the scenery was well-portrayed. The characters were different and the story was unique. If you want to see a movie that is out of the ordinary, that speaks a bit about where it's from, and that might show you a place you haven't seen before (whether fictionally portrayed or whether in scenery) - then you'll enjoy this film.

I am a native of Northern New Mexico and I am familiar with the writers, actors and extras in this movie, so I really wanted to like it. My rating of this movie is a 3, because I really didn't get drawn in like I would have liked to. The story line was confusing as to what exactly happened to make Whitey do the things he was doing and I was never really convinced what role his family played (drug dealing was the assumption). The writers stayed as true to their roots of Northern NM as they could, but I believe this was to their detriment because the targeted demographic seemed to be too focused on the filming location. The technical production of this movie was good and the main actors were good as well, but I was just let down by the overall flow in how the story was written. I think Diego is onto something and is a talented artist, and I just hope he doesn't give up on his new craft of movie making.Worth watching, but was hoping for more from the writers.

BLAZE YOU OUT is a handsome first feature by directors Mateo Frazier and Diego Joaquin Lopez and their talented cast and crew. Set in northern New Mexico, the film is a masterful tapestry of stunning landscapes and human drama. Life would be normal in this Latino and Native American town except for the evil - a cunning drug-dealing matriarch (Elizabeth Pena) and her seductively twisted son, Whitey (brilliantly portrayed by Mark Adair-Rios). But they go too far when Whitey doggedly pursues Alicia (Melissa Cordero), a witness to one of his murders. With ferocious determination, Alicia's sister, Lupe (portrayed by the talented Veronica Diaz-Carranza) recruits her friends who invoke their own courage and mystical forces to save themselves and their cultures from extinction. Superb cinematography and editing, visually rich lighting -- huge production value. Well done.

Well, I apologize in advance to those of you like myself who wasted time watching this god awful movie. Most, if not all of the movie, made no sense. Whoever wrote this script should seek another profession. This movie was well advertised, but man was I disappointed. I really felt that this movie would actually be worth watching. Well, there's a couple of bucks from the red box which I will never get back.Where do I begin, the two women that played sisters couldn't act at all. They probably could of casted some better looking women who could of acted as bad as these two did, just saying. The bad guy in this movie which I thought was the middle eastern dude from 40 year virgin acted terrible. This movie had a sex scene in it, which I couldn't understand why. This movie had actors trying to either play native Americans or Mexicans, I had no idea I was so confused. Also, the individuals in this movie had jobs. They were either tattoo artists, sculptures or painters which brought nothing to this movie. This movie had decent visual effects, but was really over shadowed by how the movie was as a whole to include the poor acting and total confusion throughout this film. This movie is not even a B-rate movie, it's just terrible.The only bright spot which was small, was the music. Probably would look into snatching up the music CD, but that's it. Do not watch this movie, not even if your paying money into the red box, that's money you could use buying food from McDonald's dollar menu.
