Mexico Barbaro (MPI Media Group)

As money for independent filmmaking dwindles in light of the problematic VOD market, more producers and filmmakers are turning to anthology filmmaking to get their visceral visions out into the world. However, while some of these anthologies follow a thematic similarity or shared location, others share an entire culture to inspire their terror tales, such as Dark Sky Films’ Mexico Barbaro.

For those unfamiliar, here’s the official synopsis for Mexico Barbaro…

Eight Mexican directors unite to create tales of the most brutally terrifying Mexican traditions and legends to vividly shocking life. Mexico Barbaro presents haunting stories that have been woven into the fabric of a nation’s culture, some passed down through the centuries and some new, but all equally frightening. Stories of boogeymen, trolls, ghosts, monsters, Aztec sacrifices and of course the Day of the Dead all come together in urban and rural settings to create an anthology that is as original as it is familiar and as important as it is horrifying.
