Hades, vida despues de la muerte (1993 Video) User Reviews

Well, if it isn't the worst Christian movie ever made, it sure is close.

I really try to give Paco Del Toro credit. I really do. I'm sure he's a nice guy and he has great ideas. I don't doubt his beliefs, and I respect the fact that he makes the effort to make films which support his love for God. But this movie's just horrible.

Having viewed La Santa Muerte, I thought he couldn't get any worse than that boring, disappointing excuse of a message. Well, step aside, this is a more likely contender for the title of Worst Christian Movie Ever.

As always with Del Toro's films, the message isn't the flaw. He always manages to deliver a great subject theme, that could be perfect for a conference or a preaching at Church. But when he tries to put it on screen, it's so painful.

The acting is, of course, a joke. The script serves it's basic purpose, but it isn't very subtle. And then, there's the true death blow to this whole production: The scenes where demons appear (apparently out of hell) and drag some pour soul down there. The sheer cheesiness of the effects and set design make Troll 2 a Star Wars episode in comparison. Not only that, it doesn't seem to be very respectful to Christian standards.

Of all Armageddon films, this should be the last to choose. Again, I do believe that Paco Del Toro has talent, and he can be a great filmmaker. It just doesn't look like he's trying.

So yeah...

Carlos and Adriana have an arguement and as they yell at one another in the middle of a highway, they both get killed by a truck.

That's it, roll the credits and turn on the lights.

No, but really, Adriana dies instantly and goes to Heaven because for the most part she was a good person. But Carlos, well, he was a horrible person as we soon see and he's trapped on Earth in a Jacob's Escalera situation. Oh yeah - he's also chased by demons.

By the end of this movie, you'll want Carlos to burn. I mean, he steals from grocery stores, assaults a girl who is shopping there, uses Adriana to play a prank on the bisexual Pablo that goes so badly that the victim throws himself out a window,

We soon learn that Adriana has become a good Christian woman thanks to a man named Esteben - no, not the one from Evilspeak - who helps her find the right way to live. She tries to save Carlos and that's what leads the story back to the beginning with him denying God, her getting out of the truck, him following her and them both getting flattened into bloody tortilas.

So yeah - while Adriana goes through the Pearly Gates, Carlos is in Hell, tormented by Pablo who is in Hell because of his life choices and suicidal nature - so yeah, this movie is completely unconcerned with being as offensive as it gets - and the woman that he raped. Because you know, she deserves to be in Hell too.

Director Paco del Toro made a few other Christian movies and also the movie Pink which is about a gay couple adopting a child. The first IMDB review that I read said that it was "an absolute disgrace to humanity."

According to Toro, he wanted to defend the right of adopted children to grow up with a father and a mother, yet so many people saw that as promoting homophobia, which got that movie banned from Cinemex and Netflix.

This movie never played on either.
