Dark fantasy Epic tale, set on a pre-medieval Spain.
bastomacagic-128339 March 2023
I just saw this in theaters in Spain. Dark fantasy at its best. I highly recommend it, and also "errementari", the previous film by the same director.

It's amazing how well it does for a low-budget movie.

The treatment of the characters, the environments, the light and the creatures is very well done.

Based on pre-medieval traditions and myths from Spain in the 6th century AD, where paganism and Christianity collided.

It is incredible how the director manages to keep you in complete tension with a tale of swords and monsters, and where nothing is what it seems and even the magic that seemed lost has its place in the world.

Not the Loch Ness Monster

No pun intended - if you watch the movie it will become quite clear what I mean by that - actually some may even say it becomes clear in the beginning (intro) of the movie itself. Well that is for you to decide or rather find out. If you like fantasy movies, with a touch of darkness and mythological touches ... well you could do much worse.

This being from a certain area of Spain - which means that if you know "normal" spanish, you may have issues understanding what they are saying. Sangre (blood) is called something else, one of the things I noticed. I assume the english subtitles did not translate wrong of course.

This may be a bit too long, but the way it works, it reminded me a lot of 80s movies - that had similar storylines. If that is your thing, you'll have a blast to say the least.
