Tubi Thursday: Maya (1989)

 There it is- the only other Horror Film by Marcello Avalone.

I'm done after this- yea!

A man in Mexico is scared by a dream of his death.

Five minutes later, he walks to a Temple (after seeing a weird kid) and it actually happens.

Don't get too excited- not much happens for quite a while after this.

An ex-pat is down there and he was working with the guy.
He meets up with his Daughter, but is no help whatsoever.

Eventually, the kid starts showing up again before random kills.

Between those moments, lots of random Scenes.

Want to see a guy's finger get ripped off?
You do?!?

The apparent revival of a Mexican God of Death (possibly the one from V/H/S 85) causes random murders to happen.

This includes a killer truck trunk, an invisible spirit killing a lady in the bathtub and a lady killed by hooks in her earlobes.

That last one would suck, but you'd live.

By the way, this Poster below features that last Scene, but she's apparently topless here?  Huh?!?

Will the sudden revelation that people can slip in and out of reality wake you up for the finish?

To find out, stream it now.

I was expecting something more, but should I have?

In hindsight, I expected too much.  This is just the kind of Film that Avalone made.
If that's your kind of Film, more power to you.

For all his faults, Lucio Fulci's strange Films were almost never boring.  The crazy stuff was enough to keep you alert during the walking dreams that his Films were.

The Film has a few standout moments.  It would make a great Clip Reel.

If only the rest of the Film were interesting.  It all relates to Peter, who's kind of a dick.  You don't relate to him (I hope) and it makes the Film hard to care about.

This would be a harder one to re-cut/edit into a more interesting Film.  I guess don't be so vague about things until the last Act, write nicer/more interesting Characters and focus.

Oh well- at least nobody marketed it like a Sequel to Gods of Egypt...

Like his other Film, this one has a solid bit of potential.  Sadly, it is just unfocused and only gets interesting near the end.
