Ladronas de Almas

Ladronas de Almas: Old style Zombies with some interesting Zombie creation lore thrown in. Given the Gothic setting and the young women as "witches" this might even qualify as Folk Horror. 1815, the Mexican War of Independence, a group of supposed insurgents arrive at an estate which has already suffered from the depredations of the Royalist Army. A crippled father, his four daughters and one servant should be easy meat for the soldiers but things take an interesting turn as the family have the support of the Undead! Given the murderous nature of the sisters, even the 12 year old. the Zombies are hardly required. Decapitations of both humans and Zombies, stabbing, shooting and biting (and not just by the living dead). Some great scenes in dimly lit old ruins. The young girl treats a Zombie as a pet! Directed by Juan Antonio de la Riva from a screenplay by Christopher Luna. On Netflix. 7/10.
