One thing about me is that I'm a huge horror movie fan. But I like mostly old fashioned horror. I grew up watching the old Christopher Lee-Peter Cushing-Vincent Price movies at theaters and on "Cine de Terror" on tv. Which means that many of the movies made today fail to pique my interest. And when a movie tries the old fashion route, it turns out to be crap like "Van Helsing" which turned all the old movie monsters into a CGI festival.
So it was really interesting to see this Spanish made horror movie playing on Showtime with the English name of "Werewolf Hunter". It's an old fashioned werewolf movie with a pretty decent story and no CGI. It features some good acting, some nice photography reminsicent of old Hammer Films. It has a menacing villain (Julian Sands) and a beautiful heroine (breathtakingly beautiful Elsa Pataky). This is the kind of movie popcorn was made for. The kind of movie I would see as a kid at the old Puerto Rico theater in Santurce.

El otro día vi una mas o menos de horror, se llama Les Yeux Sans Visage, it's French from 1960 y bueno, it's more sci-fi than horror (and kinda silly too). Estaba entretenida, good but not great.
La he visto. Es una pelicula con imagenes que se quedan con uno.
