User Reviews
ScaryFan88 – 7/10
“I went in expecting a simple slasher, but 'Angustia' is so much more. The way it plays with the movie-within-a-movie concept really messed with my head. The mother-son dynamic is genuinely creepy, and the atmosphere kept me on edge the whole time. Definitely a hidden gem for fans of psychological horror.”
GoreHound – 5/10
“It had some great moments, but I felt the pacing dragged in the middle. The telepathic concept was interesting, but it didn't fully live up to its potential for me. The final act was intense though, and the theater setting added a nice touch. Worth a watch, but not for everyone.”
HorrorQueen21 – 8/10
“This film really got under my skin! The eerie connection between the mother and son was brilliantly portrayed, and the way reality and fiction blur had me questioning everything. It's not just about scares; it's about the psychological dread that lingers long after the credits roll. A must-see for those who like their horror cerebral.”
SlasherSteve – 6/10
“I appreciated the artistic approach, but I found the gore and kills a bit underwhelming. The acting was solid, especially from the mother, but the story felt a bit convoluted at times. Still, it's a unique entry in the genre with some genuinely creepy moments. I'd recommend it to fans of surreal horror.”
