Tenoch Huerta and Ariana Guerra in Madres (2021)
Beto (Tenoch Huerta) and Diana (Ariana Guerra), a young Mexican-American couple expecting their first child, move to a small town in 1970's California where Beto has been offered a job managing a farm. Isolated from the community and plagued by confusing nightmares, Diana explores the rundown company ranch where they reside, finding a grisly talisman and a box containing the belongings of the previous residents. Her discoveries will lead her to a truth much stranger and more terrifying than she could have possibly imagined.

    Madres

    A man and his pregnant wife move into a farming community to start there new life as a family but upon arrival his wife starts experiencing strange and horrifying visions.

    Madres was a interesting film. I was intrigue at how the director influence came from real life facts about sterilization during the 20th century. The sound design of the film brought a eerie tone to the story which helps elevate the suspense of the film. Pacing was a bit slow then picks up when the main character uncovers the truth behind her haunted visions.

    Overall the film was average, it was more of a informative film that had bits of horror to add to the interest and entertainment for the audience. Not a recommend watch but appreciated the films story.

    Not horror.

    Madres (mums in Spanish) is a fine movie but is not a horror movie. There is a reference to a curse and some business with amulets, but this is perhaps 3 minutes out of 82.

    The movie is about eugenics. This is the improvement of the human race by 'biologically engineering' out undesirable human characteristics. In this case the undesirable characteristics are being Mexican. It is the stuff of horror movies but in fact the movie is a straight drama intended to prick the viewers social conscious.

    Production values are good. The film is bilingual and subtitles are liberally used. The cast are committed and characters are well developed. Director Ryan Zaragoza has things well in hand.

    We even have the obligatory text roll overs at the film's end summarizing the real statistics and data related to eugenics in the States. As I say, it is a fine movie but just not a spooky one despite its' genre being defined as horror.

    Blessing, curse or ...

    The message this has is .. an interesting and important one. But until it is revealed you have to endure a movie that keeps you hanging and guessing what is what. Not a bad thing in my book, but something that a few viewers may take issue with. That the story does not move along quickly enough.

    Supernatural things occur or maybe they don't ... there are things you have to imagine happen ... on the other hand, the movie is quite clear on certain things ("real" or not so real). The performances are good and there are a few nice (scary) scenes that may get a reaction out of you ... not the best of the bunch produced by Blumhouse, but as you can tell I am not dissapointed either ... I am easy to please though, so maybe that doesn't mean too much. Still love the message, even if the real life implacations are more horrific than anything seen in the movie ...

    Should not be classified as terror

    This movie doesn't work like horror, it feels more like a thriller.

    The story is slow, the plot takes time to appear, it is very boring, the plot twist does not have much impact. The only thing that stands out is the performance of Ariana Guerra, which is very convincing. The film has a bad approach to the genre to which it belongs.

    They can tell that it is classified as horror to attract more people to see it, but I think it works better as a thriller, although it is boring anyway.

    Enjoyable

    Out of other Blum House movies I have seen this one is better than most. Based on a true story it was scary to think this really happened. So in a way it was a horror, just not in the BOO! Kind of way. Great leads, I could relate with Diana being a Hispanic but not knowing a lick of Spanish. I recommend if you like true stories.
