Two doctors make a pact in which they swear that the first to die will
return - if possible - to tell the other how to get a glimpse of the
afterlife while still alive.
Mexican director Fernando Mendez' 1958 horror masterpiece "The Black
Pit of Dr. M" originally appeared under the title "Misterios de
Ultratumba" ("Mysteries of the Afterlife"), certainly a more
appropriate appellation. In this film, you see, Dr. Masali, head of a
rural insane asylum, coerces a dying associate, Dr. Aldama, to show him
the secrets of the realm of the dead, and then return him to the land
of the living. But poor Dr. Masali should have known that when you make
a deal with the soon-to-be-dead, things don't always turn out quite as
expected! And they don't, in this very cleverly plotted story that
conflates a predestined love affair, an insane gypsy woman, a cursed
dagger, disfigurement by acid, transmigration and so much more. Rafael
Bertrand is truly excellent as the obsessed Dr. Masali, and special
praise must also be heaped on cinematographer Victor Herrera for his
work on "Dr. M." His B&W nighttime photography (most of the film does
transpire at night) is a thing of real beauty, replete with moving
shadows and dense, swirling mists; his work on another of Mendez'
horror films from 1958, "The Living Coffin," seems far more pedestrian,
in prosaic color. "Dr. M" is the kind of film that serves up a
startling plot twist every few minutes or so.
