Navajeros
Directed by Eloy de la Iglesia
NAVAJEROS chronicles the life of Jaro, the leader of a juvenile delinquent gang in late-'70s Spain, depicting his rise from street urchin to outlaw anti-hero on the way to his inevitable end. The child of absentee parents, Jaro has amassed an impressive rap sheet before reaching his 16th birthday, but still finds life unfulfilling. Ambition drives him to take up a sawed-off shotgun and lead his gang on a crime spree that will paint a bloody swathe across the city and drive Jaro closer and closer to violent tragedy. Unflinching and often brutal, the film also treats its subject with genuine humanity.

Very happy I saw this before it leaves this month was a violent fun wild ride of a movie. A Spanish version of a clockwork orange with more likeable characters in a way, ending was absolutely nuts and strange. Crime doesn't pay, certain parts of the story may be unrealistic but this was so good none the less .
not horror. hyper niche foreign sub genre exploitation film. yes. 5 skulls.
LOVE!
