For our first Scalarama screening this month, we present a trash classic to melt your brain!

The Incredible Kaliman lands in Rio de Janeiro with his trusty sidekick Solin for the Congress of Psychology conference where a top scientist vanishes in suspicious circumstances. Hot on the trail, El Hombre Incredible heads to the dark heart of the Amazon, where evil scientist Humanon is using brain transplant technology to create a race of cyclops werewolf hybrids powered by superior human brains. Now he wants Kaliman’s brain!

Using his powers of telepathy, Kaliman and sidekick Solin do what they must to destroy the demented Humanon who looks like a blood red KKK grand wizard in dark glasses and laughs hysterically after bellowing details of his evil plans.

Protected by his micro-chip controlled lion roaring “zombie-tronics”, a weasel like sadistic slave driver and a vanishing dwarf (we are NOT making this up!), Humanon is going to be a tough nut to crack.

Will Kaliman save the day?

This cinematic outing for the popular Mexican comic book superhero features retro sci-fi laboratories, telepathic severed heads, crazy sound effects, lurid costumes, bad dialogue, kung-fu chopping fights, veiled femininity and bare chested machismo. We love it!

The main feature will be supported by a programme of insane Mexican film trailers and a crazy Super 8mm horror short.
