Great movie! Amazing merge between fantasy and terror, even when touching such complex issue with cartels. Loved it! Acting was great!
Great acting, but didn't get there on the story.
Wow, this movie is a hidden gem. Wasn't sure about it when I started as I am not the biggest supernatural horror fan, but this movie is so beautiful and haunting. The cast is amazing, the cinematography is pretty good, and the story is heart-wrenching. Definitely give this one a try!
