No, this is not Jess Franco's 1965 MISS MUERTE/THE DIABOLICAL DR. Z! Prolific actor John Carradine made four horror quickies in Mexico in 1968, as did Boris Karloff. The combined shoot reportedly took only 8 weeks! LA SENORA MUERTE is sublime Le Bad Cinema... It makes you want to see the other three... I appreciate the plastic/balsa wood "aesthetic".... LE BAD CHECKLIST: Cinema-degree-zero mise en scene of director Jaime Salvador. Carradine looks more bags-under-the-eyes grotesque than usual. It's really wierd hearing his poorly voice-cast dubber. Carradine's introduction in a no-budget approximation of a scientist's library in a 1950s Hollywood B movie. Look for fiery Mexican horror queen Isela Vega (BRING ME THE HEAD OF ALFREDO GARCIA). The "fashion show" featuring truly ghastly print designs and headwear! All the women have mid-1960's big hair. Regina Torne, the disfigured (by Carradine, of course) title character, drives a classic Ford Mustang! You don't need English subs to follow it. It's a hoot! LE BAD QUIZ: How many films did John Carradine appear in? |
