O Cemitério das Almas Perdidas

Rodrigo Aragão's films are made for a guy like me: one who haunted the video store several times a week devouring horror movies. That was also the time of the SOV '80s when you could mail order horror films out of the back of magazines. Today, you can easily find most of these films on platforms such as You Tube or the Internet Archive. . . .

Aragão brings it: Creepy carnivals workers, Satanism, cursed cemeteries, the occult, along with all the dirt, grime, gore and oozing and crumbling zombies we want, and more!

The enjoyment, here, is that it takes me back to the works of Ruben Galindo Jr., with his own Cementerio del terror (1985) and Ladrones de tumbas (1989). As with Coscarelli's Phantasm or Stuart Gordon's Re-Animator, I return to Galindo's and Aragão's work, often. Each are low-budget delights to behold. If you're a horror dog, more so a fan of low-budget films or SOVs, give 'em each a watch.
