I managed about 36 minutes. After maybe 2-3 minutes of Joss talking, I turned to my boyfriend and said, "Okay - the zombies need to come and eat this guy - NOW." No such luck. At leastLilly, Marisa & Esmeralda were nice to look at, but I could not get over the bad dialogue. At times I wondered if there was even a script, or if they just gave the actors a premise and told them to improvise. I may try to suck it u p & tough out the remaing 84 minutes, but I don't know if it's worth it. When cleaning out the cats' litter box is suddenly more interesting than watching a movie, it is surely a bad sign. I was just SO disappointed. I love Dia de los Muertos (and having it on the wrong day in the movie just pissed me right off), love Mexico, love zombies, love B-movies, love Danny Trejo. This movie seemed like a gift from above. WRONG. As I said, I may have to finish the film just to see it in its entirety, but I have a feeling I am going to be very, VERY sorry. At least I have the comfort of knowing I haven't paid any money to watch this dreck - it's free on U-Verse's video library - but at the same time, I'll have paid for it with precious minutes of my life...
