A captivating exploration of belief formation intricacies and the pervasive influence of convictions across cultural landscapes-threaded through the realms of religion, music, and art.

With crafty finesse, it weaves a narrative around the covert weaponization and appropriation of myths and legends by colonialist and imperialist governments. This leaves these ruling entities eternally powerless in the face of their true architects-the communities molding the societal fabric.

Far from the typical horror fare, it intelligently embraces the slow burn structure inherent in found footage films, subverting expectations in the process. This compelling revelation serves as a potent reminder to the genre: meticulously crafted scripts indeed wield transformative power.

I haven't seen this movie yet. My plan is to watch it tonight. Sort of hard to believe that with 10 Nominations and 7 Wins, the movie is as abhorrent as some would think. I'll revise when I'm done.

This movie combines three of my absolute favorite movie genres: Found Footage, Foreign (here, Chilean), and Folk Horror. It's a terrific story of two students chasing down the connection of sexual crimes and native folklore. Very good acting and gorgeous background. The story is really captivating and fascinating, especially the ties to the Chilean folklore and Chiloe people. Enjoy! I loved it so much that I bought it for my foreign film collection.

I THINK THAT THE DIRECTOR JAVIER USES BIG CLICHÉS TO REFER TO AN UNDERLYING PROBLEM IN A CHILEAN COMMUNITY, ALTHOUGH IT DOESN'T HAVE BIG SCARES AND LACKS A CREEPY FEELING IN HIS CINEMATOGRAPHY, HE MANAGES TO TELL A SOCIAL PROBLEM, THAT'S WHY HAVING SO LITTLE HE ACHIEVES A LOT, IT HAS HAD A LONG TOUR IN FESTIVALS OBTAINING SEVERAL AWARDS, IT IS A GOOD WORK HOWEVER I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE HAD MORE FEELINGS ESPECIALLY CLOSER TO THE GENRE HE USES.

The movie really picks up toward the end. But the whole thing is great. The story, the acting, and the setting was all good. Imagine what the director could do with more budget.
