Too many fans seem to be blown away
I saw this movie before reading any reviews, and I thought it was very funny. I was very surprised to see the overwhelmingly negative reviews this film received from critics.
It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.
The movie really just wants to entertain people.
This movie has a very low rating, one that it does NOT deserve. As this movie is more of a suspense building religious horror film designed for people who are interested in watching an intelligent "Hitchcock style" film that will grind on your nerves and make you look twice in the shadows. I am afraid that many viewers were expecting a slasher style blood and guts jump-scare movie. Not so with this one. Ghosts, demons and dark iconology scare the viewer into a dark place. This is a good film, one that achieves its goal of installing terror and making you think about it afterwards. Bravo to the director on creating something unique in a genre overrun with splatter fest and cheap gore.Watch this one if you have a keen intelligence and want something different.
It's hard to write a decent review for this movie as it's so slow and hardly anything interesting happens in there. It is basically about a man named Leon who returns to the house of his deceased mother and is walking around there looking for memories of his past and his mother. We don't get to see any other actor but him in the flesh. There is no other location but the house, he does leave it once I believe to run rapidly inside again when he sees some kind of monster. However that looks to be some kind of hallucination so there is never any real danger. The other actors we only hear the voice or when he watches some kind of tape. Hearing the voice of his mother trying to get in touch with her son, it was interesting but there didn't seem to be a goal, a conclusion and hardly any story. The only thing it had going was its nice visuals and setting with a few interesting special effects. I don't really give low scores often but this one really felt empty to me.
The movie in one and a half lines: A guy moves to his recently passed away mother. Totally random, no sense and useless things happen.The end.Don't try to act like a movie expert that feels the art of this piece and is capable of understanding a hundred of ideas passed by the it... Just accept: this movie sucks more than everything.I don't need bloody, scary movies, what I need is movies that express something interesting. And what this one expresses is boring as... There is no word for this.My advice: don't waste your time watching this. The trailers look really good (the movie actually has some good elements), but it evolves to nothing and boringness.
I don't know what other users expected or wanted to see...But I actually liked this one.Gudiño's first shot at not shorts. He quite nailed it! Gudiño takes us into the very self of his characters; we get to know them, to feel what they felt. Guy enters mother's home in hopes of selling, because she has passed away; guy starts to feel, hear, see things...It looks like the very same formula, but, Gudiño takes it one step up, if not a couple more.Innovation finally arrives in this genre. A great start to build a pretty good future for Gudiño.
