This film is not currently available to watch online. It may be awaiting release or may no longer be available on any known streaming service.

Death on the Beach is an obscure Mexican drama whose treatment of sexuality, obsession and danger is typical of Enrique Gómez Vadillo’s interest in socially marginalised characters. The filmmaking can feel melodramatic and rough, but its willingness to place gay desire within a darker psychological story gives the film a certain uncompromising intensity.
