Desaparecer Por Completo

Watched the movie for like an hour and not even one scary scene. Dont know why it is called the best Mexican horror movie. If it is one of the best the future is dull for this industry.

The pace is too slow and spending too much time trying to show what the main character encounter, but without anything scary enough, no climax, very flat and quickly goes downhill and becomes extremely boring.

Don't call it a horror movie if it isn't even remotely scary. Luckily it is on Netflix and not paying at the cinema, but it can't help but have to question what is Netflix's criteria to pick a horror movie.

If you are looking for cheap jump scares and don't want to think too much, skip this movie. This is for true horror fans. A masterpiece that left me thinking for days.

Everything in the movie is carefully executed, from the photography, sound design, production, acting, everything checks.

This is the kind of movie I miss, a really well told story with minimal to no special effects. Great slow burn and worth the watch.

Since I have to keep typing I'll just continue to state how sad it is to see bad reviews for movies like this, independently made, casting new actors, culturally charged stories and careful executed... that's why and how we get an Exorcist remade by a comedian.

Absolutely unacceptable scene of animal abuse and harm. The scene was clearly included for shock value. It was not necessary to include it in order for the storyline to advance. People who care about animals should protest this movie by avoiding it altogether. Now I have an additional 300 characters to fill in order to get this review published. Minimum character counts are equally unnecessary, but I will say that some of the tropes played out here about possessions and curses were a bit tired. The main character is neither likable nor likely to evoke much sympathy. It seems he was merely getting what he deserved, and I hope the movie gets what it deserves too.

"Disappear Completely" is a visually captivating film with outstanding performances and cinematography. However, as the story unfolds, viewers may find themselves longing for a deeper emotional connection, particularly towards the climax. Director Henaine adeptly portrays the protagonist's descent into darkness, yet the narrative lacks a glimmer of hope, leaving little room for redemption. Despite its adherence to contemporary horror conventions, the film's bleak conclusion enhances its credibility within the genre.

Henaine's direction, combined with effective utilization of sound and setting, heightens the protagonist's journey with subtle yet eerie intensity. Blending elements of investigative thriller and chilling horror, "Disappear Completely" is a skillfully crafted exploration of fear and suspense.

While the film delves into mysticism and tradition, its final moments offer a poignant contemplation on morality and the darker aspects of human nature. Although the script occasionally veers into unnecessary territory, the immersive portrayal of Santiago's journey, anchored by a stellar performance from Torres, keeps viewers engrossed throughout. Though not overtly frightening, "Disappear Completely" remains a compelling and suspenseful cinematic endeavour.

I wanted to give a 7/10 for the second half but the first half deserves a 9/10.

Slow burn suspense, no jump scares (well, maybe two). Lovely cinematography. Leaves just enough to the imagination.

Sensationalist photographer begins to suffer mysterious supernatural side effects after continuously photographing illicit scenes. Negative effects gradually increase until his life is out of control and his attempts to handle the situation grow more and more desperate.

I viewed on Netflix, in original Spanish language with English subtitles, which were decently produced. Slow burn movie escalates to a nicely-portrayed climax.

If you're looking for a decent suspense flick, this'll do you just fine. Give it a go.
