Cursed In Baja [Blu-ray]
(Aaron Behr, Barbara Crampton, Barry Del Sherman, Benjamin Hughes, et al / Blu-ray / NR / 2024 / Anchor Bay Entertainment)

Overview: Pirelli, an ex-lawman, travels to Mexico searching for the heir to a Los Angeles fortune, while confronting his own complicated past. But what he finds in Baja challenges him to the core.

Blu-ray Verdict: The story goes that a down on his luck detective is hired to find a missing person, which leads to the expected hijinks: a missing suitcase of drugs, occultists, and a chupacabra. Mixed in are half-baked ideas on recidivism and its cyclical nature!

Rob Zombie troupe member Jeff Daniel Phillips wrote, directed, and stars in this noir-horror mush-up, hence it is chock full of some wondrous moments of utter wildness, along with a B-Movie vibe of having fun, yet still remaining faithful to the audience; so no jumping of sharks, so to speak.

At times brilliantly coherent, at others randomly, perhaps deliberately incoherent, it is, at its heart, a no budget crime movie that trundles along nicely, until, well, and out of nowhere, a bloody huge Chupacabra shows up!

Nothing bad about that though, you have my word, for one of the stand out, shot and vocalized perfectly moments of the movie, is when every character on screen in unison say, And that’s how we got cursed in Baja!
