Harbor Island follows a joke writer living in a van as he encounters ominous strangers at night. However, while all eyes are on him, no one laughs at his jokes, and there is a feeling that something unnatural is afoot. It attempts to blend comedy, mystery, and sci-fi within its tight 17-minute run-time. Love it …
I rush to watch every Spanish-language film I find. I was elated to read about Huesera, co-written by Michelle Garza-Cervera and Abia Castillo and directed by Cervera. A Mexican supernatural body horror movie? Be still my heart. Never have I related more to a story and felt a closer connection to a character. A character …

Happy 31 days of Halloween! This year, we’re celebrating with a different movie pick each day that made me audibly gasp, “WHAT THE FUCK?!” Today, it’s Scanners from 1981, written and directed by David Cronenberg.

Satanic Hispanics! Okay, so I had trouble saying this out loud ten times fast. I heard that if you said it ten times in front of a broken mirror, then “The Traveler” would appear. Or maybe that’s just my sister messing with me. Either way, this movie is bonkers and I cannot wait for you all to watch it. Just in time for Hispanic Heritage Month, Satanic Hispanics is premiering at Fantastic Fest and I just want to say, “Me siento muy… excited!”
I love horror movies and I love hearing people speak in the language I grew up around. We didn’t have cable television, and often, the only way we caught new and popular movies was on the Spanish network that was on public television.
