The premise

La Hora Marcada was a 1986 Mexican television anthology series famous for its horror and science fiction themes in the vein of the Twilight Zone. Although virtually unknown outside the country, it achieved a popular and critical success in Mexico. It had a series of rotating writers and directors, among them Emmanuel Lubezki, Guillermo del Toro and Alfonso Cuarón.

Horror Vault's take

A landmark Mexican anthology series that weaves tales of horror and science fiction across self-contained episodes, each delivering its own brand of dread and wonder. In the tradition of classic twilight-zone-style storytelling, every installment plunges ordinary people into extraordinary — and often terrifying — circumstances. The series earned its place in Latin American genre television through a rotating roster of creative voices that would go on to international fame. Rarely seen outside Mexico, it remains a cult treasure for those willing to seek it out.
