México Bárbaro unites eight Mexican filmmakers to dive into the most savage and unsettling legends of the country.

​

Rooted in stories that have lived for generations in the collective subconscious, the film taps into fears carried since childhood—figures whispered about in the dark that never fully disappear.

​

El Coco, duendes, ghosts, alushes, shamans, and echoes of ancient rituals emerge through both urban and rural settings, constructing a raw and disturbing vision of Mexico’s folkloric horror.
