Piedra, papel y tijera

I recently watched the Argentine 🇦🇷 horror movie Rock, Paper, and Scissors (2019) on Shudder. The plot revolves around a family dealing with the inheritance of their deceased father's estate. When the siblings gather to claim their share, disagreements arise on how to handle the inheritance, leading to intriguing compromises.

This film is co-directed by Martín Blousson (The Pandemic Anthology) and Macarena García Lenzi (directorial debut) and stars Agustina Cerviño (La Panelista), Valeria Giorcelli (Crystal Eyes), and Pablo Sigal (Embrace Me).

A truly unique addition to the horror genre, Rock, Paper, and Scissors offers originality that may not resonate with everyone. The film is artistically crafted, featuring random inserted animations that vary in effectiveness. The story builds as a slow burn until the explosive last ten minutes. There is an outstanding use of an electric knife that impressed me. The corresponding animation effect during that scene stands out as a 10/10 cut.

In conclusion, Rock, Paper, and Scissors is a distinctive and enjoyable film with enough redeeming elements to make it a must-see for horror enthusiasts. I'd score it a 6/10 and recommend watching it once.

First of all :) This is my first review. So bear with me.

I love movies from different (than mine) countries/cultures.

This seemed more like a theatrical play rather than a movie. Smaller productions lack cast however in this film everyone did their part well.

Intense action and character development.

Great love/hate triangle!

Some of the scenes were too much indie for my liking and the cinematography of these was not up to scratch (or maybe too indie!)

Somehow the ending was expected yet rewarding.

I would love to have seeing what happened next but... I guess one day when I become a director I would have the final cut.

Loved the film.

Cheers.
