The Brainiac Blu-Ray

One of the most famous films from Mexico's horror film boom, The Brainiac (El barón del terror) is a terrifying tale of revenge through the centuries.

In 1661, the Inquisition sentences Baron Vitelius d'Estera (Abel Salazar) to be burned at the stake for witchcraft. Three hundred years later, the baron returns to Mexico City on a comet to exact a strange form of revenge on the descendants of his victims... by sucking out their brains!

Director Chano Urueta (The Witch's Mirror) has made this scandalous Mexican take on monster movie conventions a favorite among cult film fans.
