El trono del infierno

Dec 2 1994 N/A 1h 33m
Fantasy, Horror

A group of archeologists excavating Aztec ruins in Mexico City uncover a bizarre statue, which unleashes satanic powers and possesses the chief archaeologist. The demonized man goes on a rampage of bloody murders while being pursued by one of his female colleagues and a police officer. Horribly burned in an explosion, he still continues his ungodly crimes, including crucifying a woman upside down. A bishop sends for a mystic called “The Angel”, a character who dresses in medieval clothing and is armed with a demon-destroying sword. The possessed archeologist transforms into a club-wielding monster and challenges The Angel in a duel to the death.

Plot

Don't let anyone tell you "they don't make 'em like they used to" because this cheesy, low-budget south-of-the-border monster movie is just as loopy as the ones from the Golden Age of the 50s & 60s. A lady archaeologist (and dead ringer for Sarah Palin) unleashes Beezelbub while excavating an Aztec ruin and the Vatican calls in "El Hombre" (director Sergio Goyri) to vanquish him using the Biblical seven seals and Excaliber (aka the sword in the stone) before Armageddon goes down. There's a gladiator-style battle to the death between good & evil at the end and seeing Sarah help save the world was a hoot-and-a-half. Can't say as I'd recommend it, tho.
