Blu-ray Review – Santo vs. Doctor Death

Like many films before it, 1973's "Santo vs. Doctor Death" brings the legendary lucha libre figure to the screen. He's a man of action in a tight silver mask, tasked with solving crimes, defeating villains, and, when possible, engage in lengthy wrestling sequences. "Santo vs. Doctor Death" maintains the formula of the movie series (with over 50 pictures to enjoy), finding star Santo taking on a determined enemy, which, for this chapter, involves strange happenings in a remote castle owned by a curious art restoration expert. It's museum activity meets body slams in the endeavor, which maintains a steady pace and interest in physical activity, keeping things compelling while the screenplay labors to generate a diabolical plan for the masked avenger to pull apart with his bare hands.
