A dead wrestler who gets his brain transplanted with the brain of an Ape? Sound corny? I thought so too.. until I watched it. Though Ladron de Cadaveres may sound like another campy, Lucha Libre (or Santo style) film, it isn't. It's a very well photographed and masterfully directed Horror/Mad Science/Detective story shot much in the Noir style. Mendez was in his directing prime here and as usual per this era of Mexican Horror, the Gothic atmosphere helps make this film a joy to look at. The wrestling mixes well here I think because the wrestlers are not really part of the cast. They are more part of the story. The story involves a dead champion wrestler, some city cops hot on the trail of his killer and some scientists wanting to use the dead wrestler for a dark and twisted experiment which everybody learns was a huge mistake. The opening scene is great and sets the tone very well. This is another rarely seen Mexican classic that certainly deserves some admiration."
