A powerful experience...



okay, this is going completely against my 'be positive/things can't be that bad' nature: yes they can, I have proof. I hold in my hand Tuno Negro. Now I'm a big fan of all things Spanish language related, from music and art to dictators and border disbutes, I find everything to do with the language interesting (except soccer), this movie in particular was so awesomely powerful that I could not let it slip by.

The premise is: a person is using an old timey legend as a reason to kill students at universities around Spain (cue: Urban Legend), they wear a mask and disguish themselves as part of a frat group that dress up like Minstrils (cue: Scream 2). Here's the twist: they are killing the students that GET THE LOWEST MARKS AT THE UNI because... EDUCATION IS A PRIVILAGE NOT A RIGHT AND SHOULD BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY. Sweet!! This movie is awesome, I'll keep going. Actually no, I will stop. Watching this movie was a bit like watching... Ed Wood. This movie should be watched with an immense dose of irony (and an even larger dose of 'this movie is not as shite as it appears' style drugs). It was a bit like a car wreck, I just couldn't stop watching.
