Diego (Valderrama) outfits himself in a zombie mariachi costume for the Mexican Day of the Dead parties but he's killed before he gets to do any celebrating. His restless spirit becomes a slave to the Atzec god of death, who has captured his soul.

Flashy-looking and fairly mild horror (note the rating) based on the comic book, “El Muerto.” 88m/C DVD . Wilmer Valderrama, Joel David Moore, Tony Plana, Maria Conchita Alonso, Angie Cepeda, Michael Parks, Tony Amendola, Billy Drago; D: Brian Cox; W: Brian Cox; C: Steve Yedlin; M: Tony Humecke. VIDEO
