42 - Hispanic Horrors (feat. Felix Martiz)

Gimme Three - A Series For Cinephiles

Send us a text

We kick off our month-long horror film extravaganza by also celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month. In this episode (a re-release from a 2020 Film Forward episode), co-host Nicholas Ybarra chats with award-winning filmmaker Felix Martiz, and they each provide three outstanding horror films by Hispanic filmmakers.

Ybarra and Martiz discuss these incredible films:

• Issa Lopez' beautiful and grounded cartel-inspired horror, Tigers Are Not Afraid.
• Mexico's 1968 classic (in every sense of the word) Even The Wind Is Afraid.
• If you're curious about tentacle lovin', you may be into the bizarre and freaky film The Untamed.
• Next, we gush over Robert Rodriguez's homage to grindhouse cinema, Planet Terror.
• We can't do a Hispanic Horrors episode without talking about Guillermo Del Toro's anti-fascist horror film, The Devil's Backbone.
• George Romero's Dawn of the Dead takes on a whole new meaning when viewed through the lens of the COVID-19 pandemic.
