Product Details
El Santo, the Silver-Masked Man, rides into the Wild West in Santo vs. the Riders of Terror (Santo contra los jinetes del terror), a unique blend of gunplay and lucha libre action. When a group of lepers escape from their asylum, they fall under the influence of a band of outlaws who are terrorising a small western town. The desperate sheriff calls for El Santo to defeat the bandits, defend the townsfolk, and help the exploited lepers. Produced by Guillermo Calderón (The Bat Woman) and directed by René Cardona (The Panther Women), Santo vs. the Riders of Terror sees the cine de luchadores meet the 'chili western' and adds dashes of horror and romance along the way. This striking 4K restoration is also coupled with Lepers and Sex (Los leprosos y el sexo), the recently rediscovered 'sexy' reworking of Santo vs. the Riders of Terror, which was created by the producers for the export market - all without the knowledge of the family friendly El Santo!Special Features
