Two Monks

Two Monks is a 1934 Mexican horror film directed by Juan Bustillo Oro. I can't find a version with English subtitles, which makes it hard to make sense of some of it. I watched it anyway, enjoying the look and the atmosphere. Reading the plot synopsis here helped a lot.



MoMA says of it: "Stylistic and structural experiment abounds in this early example of Mexican Gothic".

  3. I love horror films. It's too bad they don't have subtitles for this one. Darn.

  4. I've always found it fascinating watching tv in countries where I can't speak the language. Like Japan. Always an interesting thing to do!

    1. I've done this several times, and as long as I've read a detailed plot description of seen a written translation of the script I do ok.
