El Amarre (2021)
Interesting and Thought Provoking Horror
11 March 2023
Julieta casts a love spell on her co-worker, Daniel, with the help of a shamen. Mexico has a huge problem with domestic violence, and El Amarre provides a social commentary that provides a thematic richness and depth absent from a lot of other contemporary Mexican horror films. The acting and production values are superb, and the narrative always keeps you guessing, although the ending does feel a bit rushed.
I would highly recommend it to genuine fans of horror, but not to people expecting an Hollywood production in Spanish. This film was not widely distributed because the pandemic, which makes this film something of a hidden gem to anyone willing to give it a try.
