User Reviews
GauchoGhoul – 7/10
“The atmosphere is thick with dread and the Argentine setting gives it a unique flavor. I loved the folklore elements, but the pacing dragged in the middle. Still, the final act was a payoff.”
NightOwlNadia – 6/10
“For me, the creature design was the highlight. The curse storyline kept me engaged, but I expected more scares. It's more of a slow-burn thriller than a straight-up horror.”
CreepyCarla – 8/10
“I was blown away by the performances and the eerie score. The mother's warning gave me chills. Definitely one of the more thought-provoking horrors I've seen this year.”
SlasherSam – 5/10
“It felt like it had good potential but the story got muddled with too many subplots. I was invested in Venancio's journey, but the scares were few and far between.”
