Man - it looks like a set from Saw.
I agree. The Mayas were a pretty bloodthirsty lot and so were their gods so the copius use here is not very surprising IMO.
In most cultures the color red used in relation to funerary rites and items is related to blood and/or their vision of life and death.
The Mayans and Aztecs would laugh their way through “Saw”, and think everyone involved in the script and cast were wussies.
