Ximena Romo da el salto al terror
“…No obstante, tras conocer todo lo que rodeaba el guión de Menéndez: El día del señor, de saber que detrás del filme se encontraría el laureado realizador español Santiago Alvarado Ilarri y que haría mancuerna con el actor barcelonés Juli Fàbregas, la mexicana Ximena Romo brincó al barco.” – Excelsior
Menendez: The Day of the Lord...
“If you think you have seen the best of exorcism on screen, then you haven't yet heard of 'Menendez: The Day of the Lord'. The upcoming Mexican horror film is going to leave you praying to the Lord. Haunted by his past, retired priest Menendez lives without faith.”
