El Amarre

Mexican movies normally are bad , but this one is awful, everything is wrong , don't recommend at all , they had to think twice before do a movie like this.

We watched this here in the UK with subtitles ... and to be honest I didn't think it was at all bad .. interesting story .. desires and wishes, witches, ghosts .. and Juliet had a lovely apartment .. obviously with the dialogue being in Spanish we couldn't tell if the lines were delivered well but overall we quite enjoyed it. I haven't seen many Mexican films but going by this I would view others. I'm surprised at such negativity and I certainly wouldn't describe it as unwatchable so give it a go you may just enjoy it

And no this isn't one of these fake reviews where people are paid to give good reviews lol.

I think that is what they should have called the movie (see my summary line), so as always no pun intended. You have to be in love ... with horror movies that is ... to dig that. Although of course maybe if you were madly in love with someone you may understand our main character ... at least to a degree ... because there is no excuse if you think about it.

But as with most horror movies if characters would not act irrationally, we would not have a movie in the end. So just go with the flow and let the really bad decision making commence. Of course the movie is ridiculous ... but it has to be ... some effects are well done, so maybe that will sway viewers ... low budget - make of it what you want. Love lost ... not entirely .... it's magic (or voodoo)

Well, I didn't even arrive half an hour and I had already left this. I only saw it because of a review video.

It's boring, it's poorly acted, the script is a disaster, the direction is like a school project, the cinematography is ugly, the sound seems like it was made by a college student who was idle, the special effects suck and the music makes your ears bleed.

It is incredible to me that this insult to human intelligence (which I refuse to call a movie) was directed by a person who has about 19 years of experience.

This makes Ed Wood and Uwe Boll look like Stanley Kubrick and Ridley Scott.

Julieta casts a love spell on her co-worker, Daniel, with the help of a shamen. Mexico has a huge problem with domestic violence, and El Amarre provides a social commentary that provides a thematic richness and depth absent from a lot of other contemporary Mexican horror films. The acting and production values are superb, and the narrative always keeps you guessing, although the ending does feel a bit rushed.

I would highly recommend it to genuine fans of horror, but not to people expecting an Hollywood production in Spanish. This film was not widely distributed because the pandemic, which makes this film something of a hidden gem to anyone willing to give it a try.
