Santa Sangre (1989)

The jewel of Mexican Horror, Santa Sangre explores Life and Death using Symbolism to the bone . It's the story of the child magician Fenix and his way to adulthood while dealing with traumas, imaginary snakes and an armless bloodthirst vengeful mother devout to a strange cult that worships Santa Sangre. It's a full experience, you will want to look away, look closer, laugh, cry, and get a little scared - or least minimaly grossed out- by the gory deaths.

Jodorowsky is one of my favorite directors, so consider this my offering to the Winter Solstice.
