Muñecos infernales (The Curse of the Doll People)
Stealing religious artifacts for private collec- tions is never a good idea. When perpetrators of such sacrilege start dying under mysterious circumstances, a scholar and a medical doctor trying to unravel this enigma come face to face with Zandor, a powerful voodoo warlock and his band of harrowing doll-men assassins. While politics and cultural appropriation might be muddled in this creepy tale, in all fairness, Zandor’s revenge has a very solid point.
