Alaric Rocha brings us the newly restored short films from Juan Moctezuma. These movie are a joy to see. I don't know too much about the man except he was very creative and was woring on another movie that was feature length when he just up and went out of the public eye.
The short films here show great creativity and includes Demonoid from 1971 with the 3D segment included.The other short films here are Las Fieras (1969) and Una mujer sin precio (A Priceless Woman 1961) as well as the opening scenes from his final film entitled "1000 Paths Of Death".
I have not seen a documentary that is so bizarre in my life, and that is probably because the subject matter. I admit I enjoyed the hell out of it and would love to see the restored version of his "1000 Paths Of Death".
It is interesting to note that while Juan was waiting for his chance to make a feature film in Hollywood he worked on several low budget films to keep a roof over his head. Those films include "Scream Bloody Murder", "Sisters Of Death" and "End Of The World", all from 1977.
If you get a chance, check out this informative and totally entertaining documentary. These are movies that need to be seen by a much larger audience.
