About This Movie

So, 'Matar por matar' is this intriguing piece from '79 that really captures a gritty vibe you don't see much today. The atmosphere is thick with tension, almost oppressive at times, which adds to its unique charm. The pacing might feel a bit uneven, but it kind of works for the story's rhythm. There's something almost raw about the performances, which I appreciate; they bring a level of authenticity that feels real. The practical effects, while not on par with big-budget productions, have their own rough-edged appeal that adds to the film's character. It's not your typical narrative, and that's where it stands out, really. You can tell they were going for something different, and for collectors, it’s a fascinating piece to have in the mix.

This film is somewhat elusive in the collector's market, with few editions floating around, making it quite a niche find. It’s been released on various formats over the years, but the original prints are especially rare. Interest tends to be more among genre enthusiasts who appreciate its unique storytelling style and atmospheric qualities rather than mainstream collectors. If you stumble upon a copy, it’s worth considering for its intriguing place in the late '70s film landscape.
