  The Curse Of El Charro Review
The sad thing is this is about as interesting as "The Curse of El Charro" gets...because the scene teases that these weird redneck barflies (and believe me these fuckers are weird) might be the ones to become enemies to the girls later on in the film.
But Johnson thinks that would be too obvious so he decides to make the title character "El Charro" appear out of nowhere and start hacking up local kids for the duration of the films running time, in badly filmed death scenes which ironically enough look exactly like the death scenes that came before them.
"The Curse of El Charro" does provide some character entertainment...with 4 strong female leads who play their roles really well, and are backed up in the cast by some quirky supporting cast members, one of which plays a pyschotic ex girlfriend of one of the male characters who show up late in the movie.

Charro Days is an annual four-day pre-Lenten celebration held in Brownsville in cooperation with Matamoros, Tamaulipas.
The fiesta was organized in 1937 by the Brownsville Chamber of Commerce to recognize Mexican culture and was named Charro Days in honor of the charros, "dashing Mexican gentlemen cowboys." To encourage the wearing of regional costumes of Mexico, a booklet of patterns for Charro Days was issued in 1949.
Since the earliest Charro Days fiesta, the celebrations have included parades complete with floats, as well as street dances, a rodeo, mariachi and marimba concerts, and ballet folklorico performances by school students.
