Review

Marujas asesinas (2001) is a black comedy staring Neus Asensi. She married a rich but obnoxious man, and has a lover in the same apartments. Most of her rather odd family live off of her husband in one way or another. Her lover also works for her husband. When they are nearly caught, she decides that the husband has to die. He is about to sell the butcher shop her cousin runs, and she enlists his aid. She also involves her sister, Nathalie Seseņa, in the plot. They end up recruiting a half-wit the butcher sometimes uses for deliveries to do the deed and pay him 2,000 porno tapes, a VCR and a TV. So, they successfully do in the husband, but the problems are only beginning.

The lover got her husband's job, and is making enough money to move his wife to town, so she has a new target. The old woman across the way saw what happened through the window, so she will have to go as well, and Seseņa finds out her husband has been cheating. Though a little uneven, there are some really funny moments, such as the old woman's daughter cutting the palms of her hands to simulate a stigmata, so people will pay for her advice as a holy woman. The ending is reminiscent of .

I liked the energy at the start of the film and enjoyed some of the situations, but the thing got just too desperate and mean for me by the end. It is competently filmed in Spanish with optional English subtitles. Some funny moments, but not enough to carry the entire film. This is a D+.

Nudity Report: Both Seseņa and Asensi show breasts in sex scenes.
