From Carlos Enrique Taboada to Guillermo del Toro, here are the best Mexican horror movies from 1963 to now.
Mexico is a country ripe with centuries of rich history and urban legends. It is no wonder, then, that some of the best horror films have risen out of the brilliant minds of Mexico’s most talented filmmakers. Often underappreciated in comparison to the likes of J-horror, Mexican horror offers its own unique cultural perspective, exploring how utterly terrifying it is to be human.
2 'Even the Wind is Afraid' 'Hasta el Viento Tiene Miedo' The original king of Mexican horror, Carlos Enrique Taboada, is widely credited with revolutionizing it away from traditional Gothic elements and into a more modern landscape. This film takes place in an all-girls college that is haunted by a previous student who committed suicide due to the malicious negligence of the school’s headmaster.
4 'Poison for the Fairies' 'Veneno para las Hadas' The final Carlos Enrique Taboada film on this list is another that centers around children. Instead of a creepy imaginary friend, however, it tells the story of a friendship between two young girls that goes horribly wrong. A young and lonely girl named Veronica gets a taste for the macabre after listening to her nanny’s stories.
6 'Cronos' Of course, no list of quintessential Mexican horror films would be complete without Guillermo del Toro. His first feature film tells the story of an antique dealer named Jesús who comes across a scarab beetle-like mechanical object that latches onto him and miraculously begins to restore his youth. The price for this miracle, however, reveals itself to be an insatiable taste for blood.
