    Spanish boogieman

    El hombre del saco. An Urban leyend, the boogieman from Spain. If you are a bad kid el hombre del saco will come for you. Gilt is a magnet for him. A group of brave kids face him. Obviously in a time before moviles, when kids rode bicicles and played in the streets. IT and strangers things also viewed the need for that.

    The effects are really good and convincing. The acting also is good and i see real caracters renembering that more of the cast are teenagers.

    I liked and smiled remembering the crazy idea my brother and I had once: look for the hombre del saco to kill him. Our parents though we were lost and had a really bad evening.
