Tribute poster for iconic, surrealist Mexican film “The Exterminating Angel” (El Angel Exterminador, 1962) by legendary filmmaker Luis Buñuel.

Although not outright horror but more a dark comedy with a sinister undertone, “The Exterminating Angel” has certainly informed the horror genre with its single-setting, claustrophobic, foreboding atmosphere and unsettling premise. Films like Darren Aronofsky’s “mother!” feel directly influenced by this dark, nightmarish tale. And watching one of the best and most daring stars of Mexican cinema, Silvia Pinal, at the front and center of this unique story is riveting to this day.
