A group of teenage, treasure seeking, grave robbers accidentally uncover the tomb of a satanic sect leader from the early Spanish colonial age, reawakening the diabolical killer, who promptly sets out to complete his unholy mission of spawning the son of Satan.

If you’re out grave-robbing, and you listen to a woman when she tells you she can sense gold nearby, why in the hell wouldn’t you listen to the same person when she tells you not to open the strange old tomb with Latin writing on it because it feels off? But no, the men had to be greedy and crack the lid anyway, and now they’ve released a killer satanic-ghost-monster and they have no one to blame but themselves.
So yes, this is a supernatural slasher romp. Silly but good fun. With genuinely entertaining low-budget murder effects, including the least convincing something coming out of a fake-chest I’ve ever since, and how can I not enjoy that? Plus, it was…
A nasty, satanic Mexican slasher about a bunch of teens who go camping in the woods near the grave of an ancient executioner for the catholic Church who has renounced God in favor of the Prince of Darkness and accidentally find themselves in an extremely gory nightmare of gothic atmosphere, massive, bloody axe wounds and cursed tombs filled with mud, flesh, cobwebs, and hellfire. Better than 95% of the Friday the 13th movies.
Late 80’s Supernatural slasher from Galindo Jr. has its fill of likable moments—great gore, solid kills, a cool looking villain, tombs with candles everywhere, idiot cops with great facial hair wielding sub machine guns, grave robbing teens... but give or take a few characters screaming bloody murder this charming little movie is way less over the top than I remembered?
I had the old DVD and hadn’t watched this in years... I remember liking it a bit more but still thinking it was my least favorite of the Galindo jr. movies I’ve seen. That still rings true—it’s solid... loaded with splendid gore and some great production value for such a small budget which is always commendable.
Nice restoration by VS... so glad these Galindo movies are getting their time in the sun and I’ll def revisit this when DP and COT hit blu!
Another fun supernatural horror romp from Rubén Galindo Jr. Having now seen 3 of his movies, it is pretty apparent that one of the main reasons why he makes these flicks is to discourage young people from messing with the deceased. Well, I, for one, really hope that kids take his advice to heart, because being stalked by a dead satanic priest or the corpse of a serial killer doesn't seem like such a good time.
A fairly low budget affair, but the killer is really vicious and the gore is solid.
Ladrones de Tumbas is pure late 80s slasher goodness. Like a Spanish version of Friday the 13th 7. Packed with supernatural cheese, gory kills, and a solid balance of camp and mean spirited violence. Plus the killer is one mean son of a betch! YOU AINT THAT NICE!!
An ancient leader of a satanic cult has been buried in a tomb for all of eternity...that is until some young hooligans go grave robbing and accidentally bring the dang guy back to life by dislodging the axe in his chest! You guys messed up big time! AND NOW YOU WILL PAY THE PRICE!
Loved the limb props, gore and practical FX here. Were you hiding back there Savini? Because these decapitations,…
It’s been the shittiest week! Fuck 2021. It better get its fucking act together because I am absolutely not on board with what’s happened so far! Ok, a lot of that could have to do with the second dose of Covid vaccine basically making me feel like I had the flu for 24 hours, but the rest of it is feeling like everyone I work with is a total idiot and I’m the only one that knows how to do my job. UGH!
So I wanted to watch something that was a nice atmospheric escape and this was definitely a good pick. It’s not as good as Galindo’s Cemetery of Terror, but that would be hard to top for anyone.…
Ruben Galindo Jr unleashes a pure ruckus of Mexican 80's Supernatural Slasher magic and stomped the shit out of my expectations.
A group of stylish punky teen grave robbers go hunting for gold in a cemetery one spooky night. Little do they know, the cavernous tomb they end up raiding is home to one gnarly deceased Satanic maniac.
So what do those brats do? Steal homeboy's axe that's lodged into his chest along with all his riches.
Now he's sprung back to life (back to reality) and ready to rip flesh until he can find a virgin to impregnate to create the ultimate Son of Satan.
C.A.L.A.M.I.T.Y. E.N.S.U.E.S. ! ! !
Wow, what a refreshing banger of a supernatural slasher.…
“Graveyard Slasher” has to be one of my all-time favorite two-word pairings right alongside “Halloween Party” and “Robot Monster.”
So suffice it to say that I will love almost any movie bearing those titles or descriptions.
Grave Robbers fits the bill.
Cemetery setting. Indestructible supernatural killer. Bloody axe-murders. Medieval curse lore. And of course, fog and cobweb laden grave robbing.
An underseen slice of south-of-the-boarder stalk-and-slash cemetery madness perfect for spooky season.

A rock-solid mix of satanic mythology and late-80s Slasher. Top-tier production design, too. Full of cobwebbed skeletons, ancient tomes that may or may not awaken the dead, and spooky graveyards. All you need is some gnarly kills to complete the package, and this film has plenty.
Grave Robbers has serious Friday The 13th vibes, from a lumbering, unstoppable killer right down a campfire group of victims. Oh, and lots of bloody killings. Joy!
More good news, horror fans, Satan is in play here, so the pedestrian “murder by axe” routine is bolstered by a supernatural element, causing all kinds of unusual carnage, from flying daggers and sinkholes to - get this - an animated killer CEMENT WALL. Sounds too good to be true, doesn’t it?
Look, the story is paper thin and there are plenty of quality slashers to choose from, but if you’re looking for some mindless fun, it’s hard to top Grave Robbers’ high production values and never-dull supernatural shenanigans. And I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention the great atmosphere, especially if cemetery settings are your thing (they’re most definitely my thing).
This may be the best Spanish-language graveyard slasher ever. Except for Cemetery of Terror. Why not watch ‘em both!
i haven't seen many mexican horror movies so my expectations were pretty much nonexistent, but i absolutely loved this. after watching nothing but trash all day, i'm so glad i gave this a chance. it could just be the fact that my standards have lowered, but i had so much fun with this one and it's always nice to see some good practical effects. seriously, i loved this.
a slasher where a bunch of graverobbers are getting killed by a Disturbed album cover, but then theres a big plot twist where hes actually an Iron Maiden album cover. and hes wearing chain mail and has white goo in his mouth and then he goes on fire and also one time a hand came out of the wall
