Before Peter Jackson won 11 Oscars and made thousands of million dollars with his movies, the New Zealander had to work real hard to finish his first film "Bad Taste". More than four years of filming, the savings of all his life, the death of one of the actors during the filming, to achieve that all your friends collaborate in your movie the most of the times for free, and do everything from acting in two different roles to directing, producing, writing, editing, even the special effects to do
Practically everything Paco Limon had to made " Doctor Hell " a reality.
And the comparison is not gratuity. For almost all that has had pass Paco Limon and Melanoma Films in order that his diabolical Doctor opens consultation. They have been capable of doing so much with almost anything that Reminds me Jackson's first adventure and with that one other that was "El Mariachi". And when I say this I say it completely seriously, since he is capable of doing that a jet plane bombs one Hospital in Madrid with a budget that in other even Spanish productions they have assigned to the catering.
"Doctor Infierno " is one rare Avis in the cinematographic Spanish panorama. I'm not a fan of the kind of humor which the Doctor displays, but he still get i was laughing my ass off for several times. In spite of the poster, the trailer and everything else " Doctor Hell " is basically a comedy, wild, brutal, gore and hallucinated but a comedy, that will not leave anybody indifferent. It's a movie done with the guts, the liver and the intestines (especially with a lot of guts). So, It's not for everybody. If had to define it i would say this is half a way between the first Peter Jackson and Takashi Miike. Because there is space for everything in the consultation of the Doctor: from Mazinger Z, to social drama, from KungFu to incredible aberrant mutations, everything goes in thename of the science and of the medicine. The history is simple enough; one miraculous cure appears in a hospital in the shape of flasks of tablets capable of treating the cancer. Behind these healings is the Doctor Infierno but there are twisted intentions are hidden behind this good action. Personifying the sinister doctor we find the mythical Arturo De Bobadilla in one of these performances that you will not forget. I liked too Ana Luna in a pretty difficult role. Summarizing a movie that does not stop surprising from beginning to the end in a continuous Tour de force. If i were you I would be asking for an appointment with the doctor.
