'Drena'


Can someone explain this segment to me? I watched it with my (Mexican) best friend, her sister, and her mother, and none of us knew what the heck was going on. We tried google searching for some sort of Mexican folklore that had anything to do with the... ahem, more anatomically specific parts of the segment, but found nothing. Are we even missing anything? Was it just random and bad?

There were demonic creatures living in the forest that liked to steal things from whoever stayed in the nearby cabins, and found virgins especially interesting. One of them impregnated her and the boyfriend was charged with rape, the woman ends up going insane and is committed to an institution where she's shown pregnant with the child of the creature that raped her.

That's not the segment. It's confusing because the titles appear AFTER each segment. "Drena" is the one in which a girl has to drain her sister's vagina.

Plain stupid and random bad, by the way.

Yes, that one (the sister's vagina one) made absolutely no sense at all. The ending of it seemed to have nothing to do with anything and the initial premise was just dumb and gross for no reason.

The old guy refers to them as “aluxes”. He said they like to take things, and in the case of Valeria the thing they wanted to take was her virginity.

I questioned this one as well (actually I questioned all of them but this one in particular.) My assumption is that the spirit visiting the girl and demanding that she do the blood-draining is linked to the fact that she stole from the dead man in the beginning of the segment or was even linked to the cigarette itself. I dunno....
