Go in from here and this film is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

'Macabra: Hand of the Devil', also known as Demonoid: Messenger of Death), is a 1981 English-language Mexican supernatural horror film co-written, produced, and directed by Alfredo Zacarías.
