SUMMARY

On the gritty streets of Mexico City, Commander Quiroga (Fernando Almada, Grave Robbers) and his partner Miranda (Julio Resca, Mark of the Killer) more than have their hands full. Between fights with drug traffickers and the chronic minibuses that the public is usually too afraid to report, there’s now a demented rapist/murderer, Raúl (Angel Sancho), who uses an unusual jeweller’s tool to stab his random victims. A local radio show host (Nora Terrero, Don’t Panic) is eager to criticize the police’s ineffective actions against crime and coaxes Quiroga onto her show for a chance to defend the police. As the police and other criminals close in on Raúl, he begins to unravel and turn his focus onto the people who are hunting him down.

Mexploitation stalwart Fernando Almada stars in this harsh urban cop action/slasher, shot on film and finished on videotape, an early entry in the incredibly prolific Mexican “videomex” phenomenon. With a bleak tone influenced by Clint Eastwood’s Dirty Harry films and a twisted killer obsessed with sin and the Bible (played by the director under his Sancho pseudonym), DeGaussar Video is proud to present 38 ESPECIAL, an incredibly unique offering from Mexican crime cinema, newly transferred and restored from its original master tape.
