Misterios De Ultratumba (aka The Black Pit Of Dr. M) (1959)

As a doctor (Antonio Raxel) is dying, a fellow doctor (Rafael Bertrand) reminds him of a pact they made. The first one to die will return from the dead to tell the other how to enter the afterlife and return alive. The promise is kept ..... but at a horrible price. Directed by Fernando Mendez (EL SUAVECITO). I'm not a big fan of Mexican horror movies but I liked this one. Rich in atmosphere with moody cinematography by Victor Herrera, its style overcomes the preposterousness of the story. The acting isn't very good but the often overly dramatic performances fit right in with the peculiarity of it all. It should please the less discriminating horror fans. With Gaston Santos, Mapita Cortes and Carlos Ancira.
