Cleveronix A different way of telling a story

Bea Swanson This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

Catherina If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

Walter Sloane Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

jodorowsky-bot This film is indescribably f***ing bad. It's not even one of those B- rated horror movies that's so cheesy it's actually good... No. "The Curse of El Charro" is plain awful. It is certainly one of the worst films I have ever had the displeasure of witnessing... by far. This blasphemy of a motion picture looks like it was shot in the back of a run-down, crappy Tex-Mex restaurant. The acting is predictable and amounts to an amateur middle school stage-play at best. The script is never amusing. The characters suck balls too: The main antagonist is basically played by a troglodyte with makeup smeared on his face, and even what I expected to be the most redeeming quality of the film -- Danny Trejo's voice acting -- is slaughtered by the pathetic, lazy attempts of the film's writers to create anything that would amount to a script or screenplay. The last half hour of the film is when any actual horror element comes into play, and by this point (if you haven't already stopped watching this horrid abomination) you're either too bored to bear not shooting yourself in the anus or simply too shocked and appalled to even pay attention to what is going on. I think that the film being showcased on Chiller probably almost sent the channel into bankruptcy, and I'm surprised that this supposedly $200,000 "project" even came out looking like a $5 glob of rat puss. I wouldn't be surprised if Fellini not only rolled in his grave, but rose from it only to commit suicide and die once more once this crap premiered.

Max Kämmerer This film is boring garbage. But instead of doing a well-worded review, I'll just...What I learned from this movie:Policemen get very lonely in the desert. - Rednecks love pretend-crippled rock stars. - If you wanna get away and the car won't star, it's scary. And totally not cliché. - There's a silent film studio that specializes in personal exposition infomercials. - If your sister kills herself, it's because your grand-grandma wouldn't marry that guy in the desert. - A guy standing at the very rim of the road counts as a road blockade. - Lyndsay Martin: newest inductee in the All-Time Acting Hall of Shame. - "He is coming for you!" WAAAAAGH! Works also in Spanish.El Charro's makeup isn't too bad, too. Seen worse. 3/10. The End.

tmyer100 How does this movie even get to stores? If you are thinking about buying this movie, don't! I wouldn't even rent it. The only value in watching the movie is that it is quite funny, unintentionally, at times just because it is so horrible. I would expect this quality from maybe a high school film class, but I consider it a horrible injustice that it has made it onto the shelves of a movie rental store. So once again if you want to laugh at the bad acting, weak plot, horrible makeup, and cheesy effects then by all means watch this movie. But if you value your time, you might want to stay away from this one. I want my hour and a half back!

maf-31 A very mixed effort, the inspiration is there, but a _lot_ of the execution is poor. It does however boast a couple of scenes that make it into the decade's short list of horror scenes. 1. When the girls enter the desert bar they are suddenly overtaken by a one-step-too-far feeling with nothing they can pin it on. Ugly people, weird talk, and a hint of threat that are clearly too much even for the self-styled goth girl and their unease is symbolized, reinforced and given focus in a stage show that's simple, hypnotic and unforgettable. Unfortunately the tension in that scene isn't lessened, but almost totally abandoned and it never really recovers. 2. The second scene is when the heroine (who doesn't understand simple Spanish despite clearly being Hispanic) has a vision in the style of a silent movie with title cards clearly directed at her. Unfortunately, the revelation turns the movie into an idiot-plot movie as she doesn't understand what's going on, even after being told exactly what's going on and I lost patience with her long before the final reel. The main monster himself is unfrightening and far too conventional. With loads of religious symbolism and references to Mexican folk art/lore I'd normally want to take a second look, but the deeply annoying cast keeps me from it. I'd like to see more from the filmmakers if they tone down the stereotypes and overacting (I blame the director more than the actors there) and find a better framework for their particular vision.
