Blue Demon

review by
Mike Haberfelner

A couple is found crushed to death, and all evidence suggests they were killed by a wolf - only, wolves don't actually crush their victims to death. Of course, this soon leads to rumours that this could be the work of a werewolf, especially since the area has been the stomping ground of a (scientifically created) werewolf some 50 years ago. Of course, nobody in the science world takes this seriously, nobody but Dr. Gruber (Mario Orea), who hires masked championship wrestler Blue Demon to investigate undercover. Gruber's suspicion is right on the money of course, as none other than Lauro (Jaime Fernández), the fiancé of his daughter Marina (Rosa María Vázquez), is actually a descendant of the scientist who created the werewolf back when, and he is hell-bent on repeating and perfecting the creation of his ancestor. But of course, Blue Demon is bound to get in his way, so he injects one of his underlings (Fernando Osés), who are for some reason all wrestlers, with the werewolf serum to kill Blue Demon in the wrestling ring - something that goes horribly wrong as Blue Demon beats his opponent before he even turns, and when he turns and has to be shot in front of an audience, this only draws attention to Lauro's experiments. Lauro tries the serum on himself while locked up in a cell to ... not sure why really. Meanwhile, Blue Demon has found Lauro's secret lab, but is overcome by Lauro's assistant Ursus (Lobo Negro), and it seems it's lights out for our hero, when Lauro enters in his wolfish state, kills Ursus and fights Blue Demon, who's able to overcome the werewolf only just, who's ultimately shot dead by the police ...

 

On paper, this movie has every right to be just awesome, it has a masked wrestler, a mad scientist and a werewolf, but frankly, this movie that's also the first with popular wrestler Blue Demon in the lead, is a rather dull affair: Basically the film never finds its own pace, everything seems to be terribly functional, no characters are fleshed out, and there's no urgency to any of the action and thus nothing to keep the audience engaged. Of course, it's still totally watchable as a curiosity, but definitely not one of Blue Demon's better or funnier films.
