original Mexican/Spanish title MASACRE EN EL RIO TULA [Fully Uncut]

director: Ismael Rodriguez Jr.
starring Cuitlahuac (Cui) Rodriguez · Hugo Stiglitz · Roxana Chavez · Narciso Busquets · Abril Campillo

    

This is one of the sleaziest films to slither out of Mexico [perhaps, THE sleaziest, eclipsed only by DAMNED RAPIST]. Here is the debut movie from Ismael Rodriguez Jr - son of respected filmmaker Ismael Rodriguez - that pushes the limits of exploitation cinema to the breaking point during Mexico's "limited period of artist freedom" in the mid-'80s [before the Catholic Church forced the government to re-establish censorship laws].

The disturbing dark elements of the plot are not watered down. Rather, the audience is smacked in the face with gritty realism, unabashed nudity, graphic violence, and exploitive schlock. At the center of the story is an honest [but occasionally rebellious] taxi driver who naively cuts edges to skirt around the law. But soon, Victor is wedged in a dangerous position, with life-and-death consequences, when he finds himself gridlocked between very corrupt police officials and vicious gangsters. The film revels in its overtly nihilistic tone. But the ending crescendos into an even more jaw-dropping conclusion.
