jodorowsky-bot This film is indescribably f***ing bad. It's not even one of those B- rated horror movies that's so cheesy it's actually good... No. "The Curse of El Charro" is plain awful. It is certainly one of the worst films I have ever had the displeasure of witnessing... by far. This blasphemy of a motion picture looks like it was shot in the back of a run-down, crappy Tex-Mex restaurant. The acting is predictable and amounts to an amateur middle school stage-play at best. The script is never amusing. The characters suck balls too: The main antagonist is basically played by a troglodyte with makeup smeared on his face, and even what I expected to be the most redeeming quality of the film -- Danny Trejo's voice acting -- is slaughtered by the pathetic, lazy attempts of the film's writers to create anything that would amount to a script or screenplay. The last half hour of the film is when any actual horror element comes into play, and by this point (if you haven't already stopped watching this horrid abomination) you're either too bored to bear not shooting yourself in the anus or simply too shocked and appalled to even pay attention to what is going on. I think that the film being showcased on Chiller probably almost sent the channel into bankruptcy, and I'm surprised that this supposedly $200,000 "project" even came out looking like a $5 glob of rat puss. I wouldn't be surprised if Fellini not only rolled in his grave, but rose from it only to commit suicide and die once more once this crap premiered.

M-Ols Quentin Tarentino and Robert Rodriguez tried (I'd say, with mixed success) to honor the history of grindhouse movies -- low budget movies shot with gonzo velocities and lots of cleavers & cleavage.What Tarentino and Rodriguez tried to celebrate from their mink-lined, gold-plated director chairs, these guys did all by their loathsome lonesome, and cranked out El Charro. A masterpiece? No - not by a long shot. But, you know, it does have all the hallmarks of grindhouse: barely comprehensible plotting, bizarre riffs from the periphery, cars on desert highways, bad dialog, bad cops, bad bars, some nonsense about curses, babbling priests, buckets of blood, a couple hundred f-bombs, and (duh) topless women.If you're looking for El Charro to introduce you to next round of cinematic genius, you'll be sorely disappointed. But, if you've been hankering for some drive-in quality, B-movie slasher junk -- then why the hell not? (The soundtrack kind of kicks a--, by the way).

lastliberal OK, I love seeing Danny Trejo in films. I didn't actually see him in this one, as he was the voice of El Charro. El Carro (Andrew Bryniarski) was too busy swinging a machete to speak, I guess.Maria is a neurotic mess whose sister committed suicide and is being stalked by El Charro because of some wrong done by an ancestor. She joins her friend Christina (Heidi Androl) and two other girls on a trip to Arizona. Good that they had Tanya (Kathryn Taylor, Miss Kansas USA) along to handle the cop when they got a speeding ticket.Best performance in the film was definitely KellyDawn Malloy as a goth chick who did a shower duet with Tabitha Stevens.Great looking slasher, but the appearance of Archangel Michael and the ending left a lot to be desired, as did the rednecks the girls hooked up with.

rayfen I thought that nowadays, with the technology and resources available, it was no longer possible for anyone 'serious' who wants to produce a low cost horror film could possibly come out with a crap... but apparently I was wrong. I thought this movie was worth watching and only after 15 minutes I realized it was a waste of time and believe me, I was tempted to fast forward it. It is certainly one of the worst I've ever seen. It just has nothing right, the script, acting, scenery, effects, its direction, etc,etc are all a disgrace. It is so inexplicably poor and selfish. Of course I've seen worse, perhaps that is the only consolation.
