Arguably, however, the most eagerly sought title among VCI's initial salvo of Mexican releases, especially among aficionados of the more unusual reaches of fantastic cinema, is <i>Santo Contra la Invasion del los Marcianos</i> ("Santo vs. the Martians," 1966), a bizarre representative of the Mexican masked-wrestler movie genre, infused with heaping doses of fanciful science fiction. <p><a href="default-nf.htm">Go to the review</a></font> </body>
