Speaking with Entertainment Weekly about Satanic Hispanics, Mendez said, “What we wanted to focus on were myths and legends of Latin America, because we felt like so many Hispanic projects are about cartels and the border. But I do want to make this clear: it is a movie for everybody. It is an English language film. I wanted to make a fun horror movie that just happened to be about Latin lore and I think we’ve done that.“
Mendez and Brugues produced Satanic Hispanics with Patrick Ewald.
This movie sounds like fun to me, and I’ve been following Mendez’s career ever since his feature debut Killers was released in the late ’90s, so I will definitely be watching Satanic Hispanics.
