Sete Cemitérios

Cheap Mexican modern western that makes little sense, but it's kind of fun. Imagine Danny Trejo coming out of prison, where he spent 28 years with 5 minutes off for good behavior, in order to be the hero a Mexican woman needs to save her farm from the local gang barons and corrupt cops. And he does it with a bunch of ineffectual undead former associates. At 80. How is that not fun?

If you want actual action, special effects that are more expensive than 15$, a meaningful story or acting of any sort, this is not the film for you. But if you want to see a very low budget Mexican The Magnificent Seven with a few lines that make you chuckle, you may enjoy this.

In Texas, in a small town at the border of Mexico, the crime lord Abuelo (Sal Lopez) wants the ranch that belongs to Carmela (Samantha Ashley) and Matteo (Raul Casso), but the land belongs to their family for years and they refuse to sell. Abuelo stabs Matteo to death and tells Carmela that she has until the end of the day to deliver the ranch to him. Meanwhile, the old Santana Bravo (Danny Trejo) is released from prison on probation after serving twenty-eight years wrongly accused, and visits Matteo. He learns what happened to him and out of the blue, the corrupt Sheriff Jake (Ronnie Clark) arrives with his deputies and executes Bravo. A witch (Maria Canals-Barrera) brings his body to her cabin and resurrects him. Further, she tells Bravo that his blood can resurrect the dead. Bravo goes to seven cemeteries to bring back his old friends to defeat Abuelo and his men and protect Carmela and her ranch. The showdown between Bravo and Abuelo will begin.

"Seven Cemeteries" (2024) is a lame B-movie indicated for fans of Danny Trejo, who is too old to perform the badass he was in the past. The plot is full of cliches, and the humor does not work. There is no development of the one-dimensional characters or situations, the locations and the acting are very poor and the crew seems to be amateurish. My vote is three.

Title (Brazil): Not Available.

A movie about a couple who try to hold off a bunch of criminals down by the border who are trying to muscle them out of their ranch. Things get heated with the criminals and things end up bad so they call in bravo (danny trejo) who of course was was a people's hero back in the day to come and help them out. Thing is bravo has just been released from prison after 40yrs and hes old and all his old gang are long dead and he doesn't really wanna get in trouble but after finding himself on the wrong side of a corrupt local cops stolen rifle things change and he's saved by a lady called bruja who dabbles in the occult and gives him the power to resurrect a squad of dead criminals and heros of his choice back from the dead to help him fight the criminal gang and save the ranch.

This sounded great on paper but in action the movie is pretty terrible. There aren't many funny parts in it and the characters are just cheesy and for some reason all keep dropping jokes about recent events even though they have been dead for 30+ years... It's obviously not a great movie and obviously not a great comedy but its watchable if you have nothing else to do.

After being released from prison, a man finds himself crossing a vicious drug lord in the area and makes a deal with a local witch to resurrect a posse of undead thug friends of his to help save the farm of a woman who's also crossed the same drug dealer and protect the land.

This was a fairly fun and enjoyable enough genre effort. The majority of the positives for this one rely on the strength of the supernatural tinges featured here that give it a somewhat wild time. The various factors in play putting the squeeze on the property where the house stands and the need for bringing in the different figures from the guy's past which comes about nicely giving this a decent enough storyline to work with. That we get the motivation for the resurrection and the different antics of how he's supposed to go about bringing his friends back to life gives everything a great time with a simple, straightforward story. That gives way to a slew of fun Action-style setpieces involving the war between the two sides starting to unfold. The initial confrontations with the zombified friends offering to help out give this some immensely fun setpieces featuring the inability to harm the undead minions which is only aided by a quirky sense of humor at the ineffectual nature of everything taking it to a wholly silly and cheesy tone. The final scenes making the sides pull out all the stops with plenty of strong setups in the race to get the house prepared, the battle outside where the overwhelming numbers force them underground, and the battle in the escape tunnels work nicely at bringing about some solid gore, heartwarming moments, and a fun resolution for a solid enough time here. There are some big issues here within this one. The main drawback with this one is the generally underwhelming sense of structure present that keeps this one meandering around instead of dealing with the main issue at the house. Featuring the journey to resurrect the zombified friends and bring them back which gives this some comedic features but also just drags along without much reason which manages to feel quite scattershot with how it plays out. It plays into the other factors for this one where the focus on comedy or Action in the middle section leaves such a lighthearted tone that nothing really feels dangerous or threatening so it's somewhat of an issue to get over with this one.

Rated Unrated/R: Graphic Violence and Graphic Language.

First off I loved it I don't care what others say. This movie has it all I really hope Danny does another one for us with the hand. Also I think they should release this in the theaters as it might get a bigger fan base then they think. This is going down as a cult classic for sure and I know it will get a bigger following the longer it's out. This will be one of the movies I show people on movie night it really touched on so many different levels and is the first movie that really made me cry which is completely strange but the humor really is on point as well. I loved how at times when you think this movie can't get crazier it surprises you. I gave it a 10/10 everyone was fantastic in this movie and not at one point did I think I need to turn this off 😂
