" Though it's not my favorite Jodorowsky film, still an amazing story. Weird but strong aesthetic. The actors are excellent. (27.01)"

"Santa Sangre is a special breed of horror film that could only come from the deranged mind of Alejandro Jodorowsky. Packed with powerful imagery and psychological themes, this film is an experience that is truly hard to forget. It is often very surreal and sometimes exploitative, but it never takes its reputation of horror to a distasteful extreme. Painted like a work of art, with plenty of twists and turns along the way, Santa Sangre is a masterwork from a completely original, unconquerable fil"

I Recommend...(The Short List) (80 movies items)

" Surreal/Horror Directed by Alejandro Jodorowsky. Jodorowsky's most straight forward film, but still very strange, and his take on horror movies. Also his best looking movie with some really beautiful visuals. I don't want to say much about the plot, but it's basically about a boy who grows up in a circus and is taken to a mental hospital after a traumatic event. Years later, his mother returns and he acts as her arms."
