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. Diego is returned to the living to battle the death god for the soul of his girlfriend Maria (Cepeda) among others. 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
