3.0 out of 5 stars El Libro de Piedra 1969, October 6, 2010

EL LIBRO DE PIEDRA, escrita y dirigida por Carlos Enrique Taboada (La Recta Final), es una pelicula interesante que sin duda fue influida por la pelicula inglesa, THE INNOCENTS de 1961. Me refiero aqui al ambiente de una mansion en el campo y el uso de ni~os como personajes de los sobre natural.

Lamento que aunque una buena pelicula, podria haber sido una verdadera cinta clasica si no fuera por los multiples errores en escena. Por ejemplo, con tanta dificultad sube Marga Lopez a la iglesia abandonada y para bajar es de un momento a otro. El accidente automovilistico fue mal dirigido y no tiene nada de suspenso y los efectos especiales estan tercermundistas. Peor aun es cuando la guapisima esposa muere y luego el personaje de Cordero se OLVIDA DE ELLA POR COMPLETO en las proximas escenas!!! Dije yo, "que la pasa a este hombre???" Tambien, el primer tomo de "Hugo" da miedo, pero despues . . . ya se ve que es un ni~o haciendo muecas y no da nada de miedo. Bueno, pues, ni modo.

Ah, pero no hay que perderse a la hermosisima Lilia Castillo (Lilia Richard aqui, si se acuerdan de ella con su minifalda en ALERTA ALTA TENSION y una de las p___s del general Mapache en THE WILD BUNCH), quien es definitivamente una de las mas bellas mujeres en el cine internacional que jamas gano la fama que se merecia.

I heard about this movie years ago, and suddenly forgot about it (im 24 years old).

Suddenly, after a movie talk with friends someone mentioned it again and I found myself with the urge of finding this gem, BUT SADLY, it hasn't been edited in our own Mexico! Shame on us, and kudos for Tekila Films who had the pants to capture and reproduce this amazing movie.

The Movie: Superb story, still fresh. The acting is not the strong thing in this movie, but they do a good job, all of them. I wish I studied something related to communications just to see the flaws on this movie. But apart from some minor continuity stuff it's amazingly well done.

The DVD: I would've put 3 stars for the lack of extras (the only extras are some Mexican leyends in spanish text). But its a Mexican film from the 60's that has been ignored in Mexico now. I would've rated a 5 STAR if it had english/french subtitles at least! since this is a "cult"(if you will) movie for the genre lovers. Hopefully in a near future, people in Mexico rescue this extraordinary movie and issues it with more extras.

If you're a fan of suspense, mysteries or thrillers regarding "horror", this is a MUST in your colletion. You can almost ignore the fact that there are no subtitles (for people not understanding spanish) since the storyline is not that complex.
