It is not scary, nor funny, is just dull and simply stupid, basically all the segments seem amateurish at best, seriously, i have seen better works from film students than
most of the shorts in this piece of garbage. Two stars out of ten, and that is just because of the good gore in one of the segments.As a Mexican I apologize to the international horror community for this embarrassment .Please, do yourself a favor and skip this one.

I love anthologies, but this one is just awful. A few shorts are okay, but nothing really blew me away. Of course, some of the shorts are so terrible that I contemplated turning the whole thing off. Spoilers below.The worst of the bunch, for me, is ""La Cosa mas Preciada/The Most Precious Thing". It's cheesy, stupid, and worst of all has some weird crap nobody wants to see in a so-called rated 'R' film. Don't watch this anthology with your parents, children (no matter what age), or really anyone, honestly. This particular short literally has close- up shots of "aluxes" (troll/imp/whatever) penis. Yes, really. The whole short was cliché, couldn't pick a genre, and just left me with a bad taste in my mouth. My favorite short was "Jaral de Berrios". The cinematography here was really gorgeous, and there were some neat effects. However, it was so short that it didn't really explain anything or go into enough detail to make a big impact on the viewer. Overall, this anthology is really weak, and I can't recommend it. Give it a pass in favor of better options.

"The Omen" is a horror movie. "Bram Stoker's Dracula" is a horror movie. This.. Is not. This is a pile of trash. There's no suspense in the air, it's just bad acting, bad directing, bad cinematography, and there's literally no plot.I kept waiting for it to at least get tolerable. I was bored and annoyed, but when I saw a child being abused, I was done. The directors are clearly sick and need a mental health screening. Again, there's horror films (which I love), and this semi-snuff film trash is not one. The only people who would enjoy this plot less piece of crap are muderers, rapists, and other general sickos. I also don't mind subtitles. I have watched several great foreign films. Do not watch this unless you want to be annoyed at the very least, or absolutely disgusted at the worst. If this film was matter, I'd use it to line a cat litter box.

"Barbarous Mexico" sure does live up to its name. Found this little known movie On-Demand, and thought I would check it out. I thought its cinematography was way above most movies of this genre. However, I also thought the directors needed to pull back on the reins just a little."Barbarous Mexico" is a horror anthology from south of the border. It tells different stories--some better than others. What I was in complete shock over was its rating. It is amazing this movie received the rating it did. On-Demand listed it as an "R" rating; I thought it should have received an NC-17 rating. Its savagery throughout had me turning away from my television on more than one occasion. And its nightmarish stories do not spare anyone-- including children. Another reviewer apparently saw a lot more in this compilation than I did, but to each his own. WARNING: There have been few movies I have reviewed which I deemed needed to come with this label, but this is one of them. This movie contains full nudity of both sexes, a savage rape, simulated oral rape by a demon (complete with "member"), cannibalism of a child, graphic sexual couplings, and graphic violence. It should not be viewed by anyone UNDER 18.I do not recommend it and I strongly caution all parents before allowing a minor to watch it.
