Austin Parks and Recreation and the Mexican American Cultural Center
(MACC) present a FREE film series by Cine Las Americas. The series, LA HORA FRIA: CLASSIC MEXICAN HORROR will run from October 21 to November 6, 2009 at the MACC (600 River Street, Austin, Texas 78701).
As part of the Mexican Bicentennial celebrations, with the generous support of Alameda Films, Cine Las Americas will showcase a special collection of Mexican horror films at the MACC. The horror genre was not very popular during the first decades of Mexican cinema, yet during the late fifties, an important group of producers, writers and directors ventured with considerable success into the making of horror films.
Taking cues from Hollywood and from gothic literature, the horror films of Mexican filmmakers such as Abel Salazar, Fernando Méndez, and Rafael Baledón, recreated classics of the genre in a unique Mexican context, offering new interpretations of classic characters like Dracula, Frankenstein, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, and the Werewolf, and incorporating Mexican folk tales like “La Llorona.”
