Zombies, Chicks, Luchadors, and Dr. Satan--Oh My!

The Haunted World of El Superbeasto (2009)
Director- Rob Zombie
Starring- Tom Papa, Sheri Moon Zombie, Paul Giamatti

Famous (?) luchador El Superbeasto (Papa) must save a woman he's lusting after from the nerd-farious Dr. Satan (Giamatti), enlisting the help of his secret-agent/cheerleader-type sister, Susie-X (Moon Zombie) and her smitten robot sidekick.

Along the way he rescues a has-been luchador named El Gato, who was imprisoned by Dr. Satan a long time before. He is now know more for his weird googly-eyes and dragging scrotum than for any wrestling moves.

Throw in some Nazi-zombies trying to retrieve from Suzie-X their fuhrer's stolen head-in-a-jar, and you have a pretty big monster-romp of an animated movie.

Unfortunately, not all of the jokes are that funny--some even seem forced, despite coming from good actors, and a lot of the female characters are visually, if not mentally interchangeable.

Rating: 3.5/5 Bonedaddies.
