Choppy, and for good reason

THE MONSTER'S DEMOLISHER is one of a four-part film series of Mexican horror flicks about a descendant of Nostradamus, not only given to prognostication but a member of the undead to boot. This one is the second instalment and if it seems rather choppy that's because it was taken from a 12 part serial, chopped down and then redubbed for US television by the hard-working K. Gordon Murray, who never saw a slice of south-of-the-border horror that he didn't want to dub over with annoying English speakers. This film starts with Nostradamus being hastily resurrected before battling with a vampire hunter called Igor (!), played by the hard-working Jack Taylor. Federico Curiel, who directed tons of similar fare over the years, works hard on an admittedly low budget, with a few good and spooky sets, a Universal-style hunchback assistant, and some snippets of atmosphere here and there. The special effects and action scenes are limited, but there are a few choice moments including a fun vampire-vs-bullet showdown.
