Photography converts the whole world into a cemetery. Photographers, connoisseurs of beauty, are also – wittingly or unwittingly – the recording-angels of death.
– Susan Sontag
Those words appear at the beginning of Disappear Completely (Desaparecer Por Completo), and seem perfectly appropriate as we see Santiago sitting in his car listening to the police radio. He’s a photographer, and he’s waiting to hear what he’ll be covering next. He doesn’t have long to wait before he’s busy shooting pictures of a cuffed suspect, sobbing victims in an ambulance, and, with the help of a bribe, a woman’s corpse.
Santiago works for a Mexican tabloid, one that very firmly believes the old adage, “If it bleeds, it leads”. And he’s excellent at capturing that bleeding on film, regardless of the cost.

“Disappear Completely” may suffer from diminishing returns, but there’s an ironic pleasure in a movie about a cursed man losing his five senses one at a time that gets gradually worse as you watch it.
Caught somewhere between Dan Gilroy’s “Nightcrawler” and Sam Raimi’s “Drag Me to Hell,” director Luis Javier Henain’s Spanish-language horror won the attention of genre fans out of Fantastic Fest 2022 but just started streaming in the U.S. on Netflix Friday, April 12. The supernatural tale of intensifying torture recounts the fate of Santiago (the unflappable Harold Torres), a tabloid photographer whose primary job seems to be hunting down crime scenes so he can snag candid shots of corpses.
We meet our nauseating anti-hero at the scene of a picturesque accident; crushed by a light pole, a young woman in yellow bleeds beautifully. She’s evocative of Evelyn McHale (look it up!) and...

"Could you do a spiritual cleansing on me?" "I can't help you." An official trailer is out for a Mexican indie horror film titled Disappear Completely, the latest film from filmmaker Luis Javier Henaine (of Happy Times and Ready to Mingle). It premiered in 2022 at Fantastic Fest as a work-in-progress, and screened at the Morelia Film Festival, and it won a Bronze Skull at the Morbido Film Festival in Mexico. There's still no US release date set, but with an opening in Mexico this March there's a trailer to check out. After visiting a brutal crime scene, an ambitious and insensitive tabloid crime photographer falls victim to a mysterious illness that makes him lose, one by one, his five senses. He attempts to figure out what is going on and how stop this illness "before the world he knows disappears completely..." Starring Harold Torres as Santiago, with Tete Espinoza, Fermín Martínez,...

About the film
This film is technically well-made, but it doesn’t focus on displaying its technical virtues. Instead, it aims to teach us about life and evoke a range of emotions. It pays tribute to teachers and uses melodrama to achieve its goals.
Although this may not appeal to everyone, the film has a good screenplay and takes us on an interesting journey of discovery. The attention to...

Every now and again, as if influenced by some intangible thing in the collective consciousness, the film industry produces a whole lot of works on the same subject. This year it’s witches. As usual, the films vary enormously in style and quality. Disappear Completely, which screened at Fantastic Fest, is one of the best, a classy piece of work which would stand out in any context.
Set in Mexico, it follows Santiago (Harold Torres), a photojournalist who specialises in capturing front page pictures of grisly crimes – when people ask him “Do you have any enemies?” it’s a difficult question to answer, but he is determined to keep working at it until he gets his big break, until he can build a real career. Things come to a head when Marcela (Tete Espinoza), his girlfriend of 14 years, discovers that she's pregnant. Whilst initially he argues that it would be.
