Stylish, entertaining horror film from Mexico. Clever plot and a decent sense of humour. This is a macabre tale of a strange ornament made by some ancient quack of an alchemist which falls into the hands of a genial antique dealer with deadly consequences. The device sprouts metallic talons and a drill which ploughs into the hapless victims palm drawing copious quantities of blood!

Then what happens to the victim is best seen in the film. It is skillfully directed with a large dose of very dark humour. A truly intriguing and rather good horror movie.
