Santa Sangre Ratings & Reviews
Philadelphia Inquirer
Carrie Rickey
You can say this: It is never boring.
Seattle Times
Michael Upchurch
Santa Sangre's content puts it beyond the call of duty for even the most slavishly devoted art-house denizen.
Bullz-Eye.com
Ross Ruediger
What's probably most amazing about Santa Sangre is that most of it works, and almost never does it feel like it's being unsettling just for the sake of it.
Chicago Tribune
Dave Kehr
What Jodorowsky lacks is a sense of humor, in the absence of which his films turn ludicrous.
AV Club
Noel Murray
Drawing on his training in mime and his fascination with Gnosticism, Jodorowsky converted a story about a bizarre murderer into a grand work of art, full of symbols and imagery that reach beyond language to something primal and original.
PopMatters
Bill Gibron
When one discusses the artform's icons, Alejandro Jodorowsky must be mentioned.
Rolling Stone
Peter Travers
Visionary and haunting, Santa Sangre is a mixture of blood poetry and gobbledygook that keeps springing astonishingly to life.
Movie Metropolis
Christopher Long
A ridiculous, pretentious, fascinating, and unforgettable horror film from one of cinema's true originals.
Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN)
John Beifuss
A surreal circus of invention, pretension and astonishment that, like many carnivals, touts the talents of its performers but knows most customers came to gawk at the freaks.
Parallax View
Sean Axmaker
... certainly the most accessible "Jodorowksy film," a vision filled with circus imagery, surreal scenes, grotesque violence and psycho-sexual trauma.
CinePassion
Fernando F. Croce
Unforgettable, whether you like it or not.
Chicago Reader
Jonathan Rosenbaum
The Mel Brooks of vulgar surrealism, Jodorowsky's basic principle is that if you throw 30 outrageous ideas at the audience, 2 or 3 are bound to make an impression.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
It's a weird film.
Los Angeles Times
Kevin Thomas
A mishmash of religious and Freudian symbolism amid torrential bloodshed topped with Fellini flourishes.
TV Guide
A film that no adventurous moviegoer can afford to miss.
New York Times
Caryn James
Mr. Jodorowsky offers a very polished game of interpretation. His eccentric film relies on the viewer's willingness to play along.
Austin Chronicle
Marjorie Baumgarten
[A] wild explosion of movie madness that culls from Freud, Jung, and surrealism to create a bloody circus of the mind.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
The quality that Jodorowsky has above all is passionate sincerity. Apart from his wildly creative style, apart from his images, apart from his story inventions, he has strong moral feelings.
Washington Post
Hal Hinson
The result is nonsense of a very extravagant, alienating, private sort.
