México Bárbaro (aka Barbarous Mexico) is a 2014 Mexican anthology horror film composed of eight shorts, each by a different Mexican horror film director. It premiered at the Sitges International Fantastic Film Festival 2014. In 2015, it was released on DVD and VOD in the U.S. and in 2016 on Netflix around the world. The film was sold to six countries during the Le Marché du Film at Festival de Cannes 2015, including MPI/Dark Sky Films.^[1] The film is part of the new Cine de Terror Mexicano movement.

Plot

The film is divided into eight chapters by eight different directors, each relating to a different Mexican legend or myth. The directors were then given free rein in choosing a subgenre to create a story involving the legend. The varieties of the myths and legends range from real "nota roja" ("red note" news genre) to fantasy folk tales.

Five of the directors - Lex Ortega, Isaac Ezban, Aaron Soto, Ulisses Guzman and Jorge Michel Grau^[2] - were established members of the Mexican film industry, while the other three - Laurette Flores, Edgar Nito and Gigi Saul Guerrero - were relative newcomers.
