Muere, monstruo, muere

It is the best horror movie ever made in South America. excellent script and direction, as well as his photography. I think he's one of the best Latin American directors who are growing more and more.

A creature adorned with both sexual features on its head and tail... This peculiar film was nominated for "A certain look" at Cannes in 2018. To some, it might appear nonsensical, a sentiment I am inclined to agree with. It seems that the creator has indulged in Freud's sexual theories and drowned it in a sea of sedatives. Frankly speaking, comprehending what unravels within this alternate dimension, inside the director's mind, is utterly perplexing. What was the intended message or purpose? Maybe, it was an attempt to awe the audience with a profound and absurd imagination, to leave them shocked and indignant, making an indelible mark - and indeed, it has succeeded.

This is not one of your usual flashy monster movies. It is quite violent and sexual overall, but most importantly the pacing might drive you crazy. Not to mention the very weird dialog. And I might be describing it too nicely for some here. Still the movie does take chances and the characters in here are really good and nicely drawn.

Again, there is not that much realism overall, but there is weirdness abound. It may not make much sense to a lot of people, but if you let yourself dive into it, relish in the mood and fantasy aspect of it, you will be rewarded. I totally get though if you think this is a waste of your time. Good thing is: you can tell early on. Do not stay and fret if that is the case.

It's for people who are out there looking for something new to watch, it's a slow pace thriller, amazing cinematography with brilliant eerie atmosphere.

The make up artist should have a huge raise, it was so realistic. The movie is slow pace and keeps you intrigued, the actors were natural and even look like normal people, which most movies failed to achieve. I read the people moaning about the thing, but they are forgetting the deliriously dark fairytale captured by the director of this movie. The isolated feeling, beautiful shots of mist covering the scenery and combined with cryptic truth, which of course falls short in the end, without explaining much, maybe there was symbolism or some culture references that only Argentinian people would understand. This is was lovely surprise and looking forward to watching more of Alejandro Fadel's work.

Good movie to watch for especially the dark er atmosphere and also some good lines written in the movie.
