'Menendez: The Day of the Lord': Meet Dolores Heredia, Ximena Romo and Juli Fabregas, cast of Netflix's Mexican horror
In Netflix's upcoming Mexican horror movie 'Menendez: The Day of the Lord', exorcism is not how you remember it. It gets deadlier, scarier and spine-chilling. Written and directed by Santiago Alvarado Ilarri, 'Menendez: The Day of the Lord' follows a priest who has lost faith and lives in seclusion. Haunted by his own sins, he no longer puts his trust in God. That is, until he gets a visit from a friend seeking help for his possessed daughter. Is it time to Menendez to make things right? Or will he be pulled into the very darkness he longs to escape?
