What could be the most vile Trash-Mex movies to watch on Mother’s Day? Well, we got two choices and both involve not so great mothers.. Ismael Rodriguez Jr takes on Psycho IV with a better version: Obsesión De Matar (1992) On a nightly talk radio show, a man nicknamed “Pepe” calls in to discuss his incestuous relationship with his mother that lead into “Matricide” & other brutal murders. The talk show host & guest are skeptical of the caller, but his dark story unfolds to something much more sinister & very personal to someone working on the show. Second feature is Esclavas Del Sadismo (1994), a film that only someone like the late & forever great director Christian Gonzalez would make! An unusual mother lets her son make dirty films in the basement of their apartment building. Sleaze all around, even amongst the law.
