About Death Karate in Torremolinos (2003) — Zombies, Surfers, and Catholic Guilt Collide
Pedro Temboury's wild 2003 cult classic *Death Karate in Torremolinos* blends action, horror, fantasy, and comedy into a deliriously absurd nightmare. Set against the sun-soaked beaches of Spain, the film follows Dr. Malvedades as he unleashes underwater ninja zombies to snatch five recently deflowered women for a macabre ritual—summoning Jocántaro, a monstrous Beast of the Apocalypse. Enter Jess, a devout Catholic surfer who's sworn to chastity until 24, racing to save his girlfriend with the help of his equally eccentric friends. Expect karate chops, zombie surfers, and enough irreverent chaos to make even the most jaded cult fanatic grin.
