Reviews from Letterboxd
- Lou (rhymes with wow!) — ★★★★
“Oh baby, what lovely bulbs you have! Wow, this was a blast! La Nave de los Monstruos is easily the most entertaining B-movie that I have seen in a while.” - Chris4K — ★★★★
“Despite not sharing many similarities, in a strange way it almost feels like Mexico’s 2001: A Space Odyssey, even if this came out 8 years before it.” - Bleeding Skull — ★★★★★
“Combining delirious sci-fi themes, gothic horror visuals, weirdo dance breaks, and Western motifs, this movie tells the story of two lady extraterrestrials who zoom across the universe to collect jaw-dropping monsters . . . and find love.” - Heath Row — ★★★★
“Very fun reverse Mesa of Lost Women featuring rubber suit monsters, a helpful robot, and singing cowboy comedian Piporro. This 1960 Mexican flick is a total gem.” - MoishLoneWolf — ★★★
“Churrazo pero me saco la carcajada equisde”
