Pretty decent Argentinian 'folk' horror/thriller.
FedeMayhemile1 July 2019
Warning: Spoilers
The photography is not too arthouse but works and the point of having a minimally explained mythology is understandable (but you could've explained the meaning/use of some actions carried out the sect members), something that many SouthAmerican horror films do not do or at least not well enough, is the suspense, in this case it seems well achieved from start to finish, although I think that the rope could have been tightened even more and you could've played a little bit more in terms of editing, but well.. it's clear that is a tribute to old slasher type movies mixed with the sects (classic folk horror) thematic, an interesting mix.

What I must point out is that the ending in itself attempts to be more surprising than what it ends up being and although most of the cast is fit for each character, the performance of the main character's actor is not really convincing, but beyond all that, the story works well and it keeps you tense throughout the film duration, congratulations for this work of art, it's quite nice.
