Santo y Blue Demon vs Los Monstruos, its one of the weirdest entries in the santo series of films, but its a very fun one.
It has some very bad effects, that are really funny, some weird editing and plenty of day-for-night shots, these elements add to the cheese factor, its a very riveting film that uses its low budget feel as a medium for fun, but the acting its not bad, the actors seem to fit within their characters.
The monsters of this film are really decent adaptations of the classics we all know and love, the wolf man looks nice, the Frankenstein's monster looks good too, the mummy its not that great, its really just an old guy in a mummy costume but he isn't in a lot of the film, the vampire its great, the actor who plays it looks like hes crazy, the best monster its the cyclops who looks goofy and fake in some parts, but still has some highlights.
The film also suffers from padding, the real movie starts about 9 minutes in because the first part of this film its a double wrestling match that doesn't add anything to the movie, other than minutes of length. There are also some musical numbers on it for the same reasons.
Overall, I think its one of the most fun santo films, but its not very well made. recommended for those who are fans of the Mexican luchador genre.
