Mil Colmillos

Overall its worth a watch, but i have mixed fellings about this show, sometimes it borders on brilliance, other times its so confusing and almost surreal.

Its got great actors and acting, great location/scenery, some great moments of impending dread and some great action.

The pacing and story are a bit wierd tho, it showed some stuff i just didnt understand why it was there.

It also suffers from the characters making some really dumb tactiacal descisions.

The ending was very unsatisfying, it leaves you guessing alot, which some may like, i would of liked atleast some explanation on some stuff.

Defiantly deserves a watch if you like isolated location/ horror type stuff.

I only watched this with a Predator nostalgia. As a South American, the Spanish version makes a lot more sense than the English one. We are used to magical realism and the intangible harsh universe that embodies the jungle, and all related to it, therefore the show is good, filled with action and unexpected turns. The actors are really something, and the sets had me wondering how come they had the professionalism to go into those places... I wouldn't have even if paid... but the lows are located in the narrative, that many time losses cohesion. The way this story is being told requires a broader explanation, and some consideration toward the expectator that knows little of the frenzy connected to these places, especially the deep scars left by the opportunism led by the first European conquerors to the nowadays guerrilla groups. There's great potential here to keep developing an outstanding tale. Aside from that, the jungle is always an unsettling scenario for horror movies.

I loved the narrative I loved the tribal cult like aspects of this I love the jungle setting I loved the slowly being revealed bits and pieces the more you watch.. but the end is very disappointing... Could have been a nine star for me if it had a better ending...

The premise is cool and very predator themed with a team going into the jungle to take out a target. I wont go into the story as I don't want to give spoilers but all in all it's pretty solid. The problem is it turns from an action series into long drawn out scenes that involve walking around in caves, jungle and abandoned buildings. These scenes at first are useful to build tension and jump scares are well placed and not over used but after a few episodes it becomes obvious that it's just padding to stretch out the run time. There are no answers to anything along the way so by the last few episodes I really didn't care what was going to happen because I suspected there weren't going to be any real answers. It could have easily been edited down to a long but action filled movie. It's worth a watch but be ready to skip a whole bunch of boring bits.

As a television product itself is well done. Filming in the jungle is not an easy task, episodes are way too long though. Directing and acting is not the best but is not awful. Photography and VFX are good but not prosthetics, all guts look fake. Direct sound is deficient, often you can't understand what the actors are saying (even if you are a native Spanish speaker) and as an original idea well, the title of this review says all: we see this before a lot: Sending a platoon on a mission to kill a drug dealer is same old story, to top that the creatures in the caves are pretty much the same as in "The Descent (2005)". . . So, meh! Production Company Rayhuela Films copy themselves, they already made a movie called "El Páramo (2011)", again with a troop of soldiers in the middle of nowhere that find some kind of witch. So double meh!
