I have been meaning to give an El Santo movie a watch for a long time and now that I have finally done so I'm regretting not having done it sooner, this movie was awesome.Any true lover of professional wrestling knows some history of Lucha Libre (Mexican wrestling) and the super-stardom some wrestlers had that transcended the business into the real of film. El Santo and The Blue Demon were two of it's biggest stars. These Luchadors were superheroes in their own right and in tradition of American superhero things like the Batman TV series this movie was as cheesy as hell, but the right kind of cheesy.Any wrestling fan, or even fans of B movies or cheesy superhero stuff, should watch this and the many other titles to these guys names. For the rest of you, you have no idea what you are missing.

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.

We saw this on a decent-sized screen at a showing presented by the Mexican Consulate (!). The "monsters" are so hilariously bizarre that your treasured memories of vampire women and Aztec mummies will be left in the dust.But why go on? All you need to know is that Santo and Blue Demon vs the Monsters contains the following line from mad scientist Otto Halder, as he confronts the entire crew of good guys in his lab, all momentarily under his power: "You called me insane!" (Turns to evil invention, calmly.) "I will now disintegrate my niece." What more could a True Believer ask from a movie than a line like that?

This is probably the lamest installment in the "Santo" series, but that doesn't mean it isn't fun! Once again, the good and noble Santo must battle mad scientists, monsters and evil masterminds before their terrible plans to take over the world come to fruition! There's a mummy, a werewolf, a vampire and his seductive assistant, a hunchbacked midget, a really stupid looking cyclops and a pretty blond girlfriend for our hero to save from them all. There's even an evil clone of the Blue Demon! It's almost sacrilege to watch these two loyal buddies kick the crap out of each other!!! The plot is threadbare, the make-up effects are AWFUL, but who cares? It's all about Santo giving the smackdown to some bad guys, both in and out of the wrestling ring. There's no gore, no nudity or sex, just lots and lots of silly butt-kicking fun. In my opinion, there's no such thing as a BAD Santo movie. There's just cheesy, cheesier and cheesiest. This is the cheesiest, but that's what makes it great. Santo fans should NOT miss this one.
