INVASION OF THE DEAD 1973 (PLEX)

A very strange Mexican horror film.

Rene Cardona, Sr. directed this off the wall film starring both Blue Demon and Zovek. In this outing Blue Demon and his friend Zovek fight an alien invasion after Professor Volpi (Raul Ramirez) finds some strange writings on a cave wall.

These writing tell of aliens with mysterious powers that will bring the dead back to life and conquer the world. Sure enough, before too long the Mexican countryside is overrun with walking corpses.

Sadly these corpses look like they are just actors walking around, not like corpses at all. There are a few striking scenes, but they are few and far between. Blue Demon doesn't have much to do, he just talks a lot.

The aliens aren't even shown and the ending where Zovek destroys the aliens and the walking dead has to be seen to be believed. I really cannot be too critical of this film, but I was a little disappointed in it.

However, Christa Linder is great eye candy and that makes it a little better. I am used to films with Blue Demon being a little faster moving and full of action, but this one is very different. If you haven't seen it, check it out and decide for yourself. Thank God for Christa!!
