To mark the 20th anniversary of our beloved nahual Macabro, Caostica returns to Mexican soil with the 6th edition of “Lo más Macabro de Caostica,” a careful selection of the most bizarre short films and music videos from the Bilbao festival. Strange dystopias, stunned zombies, bleeding nuns, finger-devouring demons, exiled monsters, football-playing vampires, and apocalyptic flamenco dancers await you in this new audiovisual adventure that will undoubtedly rattle the hypothalamus of any viewer daring enough to take it on.
