Fear Doesn't Ride a Donkey1973
Directed by Fernando Cortés
The premise
This funny Mexican film tell the tale of a family who will do anything to get rid of the rich old lady who sits at the head of the clan. All the hilarious members want a piece of the very lucrative inheritance money. What they don't know, however, is that grandma has left all of the money to her trusty dog.
Horror Vault's take
A scheming Mexican family circles like vultures around their wealthy matriarch, each member more desperate than the last to claim a slice of her fortune. What unfolds is a gleefully dark comedy of errors as their increasingly outrageous plots collide with their own absurdity. The horror here is more of the human variety — the monstrous lengths people will go to for money — wrapped in a colorful, farcical package rooted in classic Mexican comedy tradition.
