A young man is confined in a mental hospital. Through a flashback we see that he was traumatized as a child, when he and his family were circus performers: he saw his father cut off the arms of his mother, a religious fanatic and leader of the heretical church of Santa Sangre ("Holy Blood"), and then commit suicide. Back in the present, he escapes and rejoins his surviving and armless mother. Against his will, he "becomes her arms" and the two undertake a grisly campaign of murder and revenge.

Release date: 27 June 1990

" Date: 10/28/2021 Viewed: 4K UHD Re-Watch Note: I recently purchased the 4K UHD release of Santa Sangre from Severin Films and have waited for the right opportunity to watch it. I remember watching Santa Sangre for the first time when I was 18, and I remember really enjoying it. I love this movie even more now that I've seen it again. Although I prefer Alejandro Jodorowsky's other films such as El Topo (1970) and The Holy Mountain (1973), I still think Santa Sangre is a fantastic film. I ado"
