Call Me Paul

About This Movie

So, 'Call Me Paul' is this intense documentary that really digs into the psyche of Jacinto Molina, or Paul Naschy as many know him. It’s wild how it captures his memories—both the highs and the lows—flashing before him as he’s in a life-or-death situation. The pacing feels almost dreamlike, with moments of his career just flowing into one another. You can sense his passion for horror and his love-hate relationship with the genre he helped shape. The practical effects showcased in his earlier films are a nod to what made him tick. It’s fascinating and deeply personal, sort of a reflective look at a life lived in front of the camera and behind it too, you know? Definitely has a unique vibe that stands apart from typical docs.
