¡¿Qué dicen?!

It's unbearable for actors to babble all the time. In addition to a weak and predictable script, we have to put up with poor acting and go the extra mile to listen to what they say. Don't waste your time.

Evil Dead meets a boring movie
nicolasverdessm19 February 2023
Warning: Spoilers
Nothing happens, there is no consecuences when the witch is there, no one dies or get harmed.

When the movie introduced the idea of the birds that lay eggs in other birds nests to be rised I thought the movie was going to go that way, like the kid was the witch's son all along or he was going to be replaced by another boy, but the mom gets possessed.

The conflict of the movie resolves itself, the mom was about to kill their kids but sudden vomit happens and evil is no more.

The cry of the witch is kind of creepy, but whenever she is there nothing happens, tjere are no deaths, is like in the rebbot of It, oh no the clown is here... And does nothing, just looks creepy at the camera.

To me this one is a 2, not only is a bad scsry movie, is a bad movie overall.

The Tarumama cries.

Warning: Spoilers
After seeing two films in a row at GRIMMfest this year which took place in a single rented location, (Hotel Poseidon & Night at the Eagle Inn both 2021-both also reviewed) I began to hope that a visit to this cabin would lead to a change in scenery.

View on the film:

Detailing in a discussion after the stream that they had written 14 drafts of the script, the amount of effort co-writer (with Anton Goenechea) / director Andres Beltran put into creating the screenplay, pays off with the brittle bickering between Oscar and Sara, (played with their nerves already red raw even before the horror begins, from their broken marriage by the wonderful Andres Londono and Paula Castano) to the chilling, weeping revelations of The Tarumama in the woods, who forces the family to get together, for a mischievous Gothic twist ending.

Filmed in a forest on the outskirts of Bogota, director Beltran & cinematographer Juan Carlos Cajiao bring the Columbian folklore of The Tarumama (popular in the Narino region of the country,and who is not La Llorona) into the family cabin with fantastic depth of field panning shots going deep into the woods, as the rain crashes in time to each scream from The Tarumama, and stylish arc shots dance to the increasingly disorientated state of the family, as the holes in Sara and Oscar's marriage,get filled by the howls of The Tarumama.
