Most Beautiful Island
Directed by Ana Asensio
MOST BEAUTIFUL ISLAND is a psychological thriller set in the world of undocumented female immigrants hoping to make a life in New York City. Shot on Super 16mm with an intimate, voyeuristic sensibility, MOST BEAUTIFUL ISLAND chronicles one harrowing day in the life of Luciana, a young immigrant woman struggling to make ends meet while striving to escape her past. As Luciana's day unfolds, she is whisked, physically and emotionally, through a series of troublesome and unforeseeable extremes. Before her day is done, she inadvertently finds herself a central participant in a cruel game where lives are placed at risk, and psyches are twisted and broken for the perverse entertainment of a privileged few.
An undocumented woman struggling in NYC is offered an opportunity she can’t refuse, but soon discovers she’s involved in a dangerous game.
Cast: Ana Asensio, Natasha Romanova, Nicholas Tucci, Larry Fassenden, Caprice Benedetti

Very simple premise, but worth watching! I can relate to the main character when it comes to struggling financially, and maintaining anxiety and keeping your cool. The emotion and build-up was keeping me guessing. I enjoyed it.
Definitely worth a watch....it shows the struggles of trying to get a foothold in a new land!
awesome movie! i wouldn't exactly categorize it as horror. definitely more of a thriller, but fantastic just the same
Simple movie with an indie vibe that takes you into the underbelly of a seedy big city. The minimalism paired with genuine suspense and a brief runtime really work.
If I am to be honest. This movie was quite boring until the very end.
