criticism

I rented the film on youtube after watchinf the trailer and thought it would be amazing but it lacked depth, it was just something derivative. after the first 30 minutes I was bored to death. I am a person who watches lots of good thrillers and invest time in searching for them. so that is why my deception comes with this film. perhaps for people with lower expectations.... this one wont be the worst experience.

A strong effort for brazilian genre cinema

A restaurant robbery goes wrong in this unpredictable and violent thriller, if you're expecting a more crowd pleasing movie maybe this won't be the best recommendation since this is an often slow and uncomfortable experience (it has one of the most bizarre sex scenes I've seen in a while) but, if you're looking for something less conventional it may surprise. I like how it handles social commentary and the cast is strong, however, the script kinda stumbles at the last act with a rushed and full of holes conclusion that may annoy more than disturb. Still liked it, but with caveats.

A terrível option

This was one of the worst movies I've ever seen. Screenplay very unrelated, only studio scenes, caricature characters and unnecessary violence. A terrible option.

One of the best horror movies ever made!

Wow, this very violent film is perhaps the best Latin American horror film and one of the best slasher films ever made. It also has elements of police thriller and obviously food-themed cinema. All seven capital vices or deadly sins appear in the story (wrath, pride, greed, envy, lust, gluttony, and sloth), which deals with many important social issues such as class struggle, misogyny, homophobia, vigilantism and proto-fascism, human rights and rule of law, and, off course, sociopathy. Besides that, there is a low budget (but very good actors) and it is the very first film directed by Gabriela Amaral Almeida. Amazing accomplishment!
