So … is it the creep show I said it was ?
A little background how I ran across this . I was poking around the foreign film on demand section of my cable provider … when I saw what looked to be a bunch of El Solitario types on the promo photo . The description was in Portuguese ( which I’m weak in despite spending time in Brazil and with many Brazilian musicians ).. no trailer .. .. so … I just let er run thinking hey … a group like the Wolves in Brazil . I likes the Wolves .. I loves Brazil .
Holy (bleep ) Bikeman !…. El Solitario ??? …..More like H.P Lovecraft meets Slasher Film meets El Solitario on crystal meth . Yeeesh …
Yet err … strangely .. ahhhh … worth watching
Rock On C !
Muito bom, excelente trabalho! I enjoyed it very much, but I do believe it could be improved as a shorter, faster-paced version. But more of this, please!
