Best mexican horror film in ages. The fear of maternity is expressed really well. Reminded me of 'The Lost Daughter.' A must see!

It's not until the last 10 minutes or so that this film becomes genuinely creepy, mainly because of the visuals and the atmosphere rather than what the story accomplishes.

Before that it's merely a game of tension and not a very effective one to be fair.

It wasn't a bad approach, but its results are nothing worth mentioning.… Expand

A movie about some crazy women. Nothing interesting happens in the movie until the end, it's really stupid.

Nothing interesting happens in the movie until the end, it's really stupid. Is this supposed to be like a horror movie? it seemed to me more like some kind of psychological drama, terrible stupidity. Several times during the movie I wanted to turn this crap off and walk away. It's been a long time since I've seen such horrible and boring crap. The only thing that was positive about the film were the acting performances, they weren't bad at all with a few exceptions, but that certainly doesn't save the film. I think the 2/10 rating is just right, and that's just for the acting, otherwise I wouldn't even give the 2 stars. This movie never again, just boring, boring and boring. Waste of time. Just like it's a waste of time to write such a comment on such a movie, which is not even worth it to me. They do not recommend.… Expand

Um filme mexicano que acerta sobremaneira em focar no aspecto psicológico no chamado "instinto maternal", sendo um dos melhores trabalhos na área quando se destacam filmes como Other people Children e Clock, sendo um ano muito bom paraUm filme mexicano que acerta sobremaneira em focar no aspecto psicológico no chamado "instinto maternal", sendo um dos melhores trabalhos na área quando se destacam filmes como Other people Children e Clock, sendo um ano muito bom para (re)pensar o papel de ser mãe.
Aqui temos um filme mais enxuto e que joga a bola no peito de Natalia Solían, que ao realizar uma atuação convincente, vai enfrentar seus medos sobre a expectativa de ser mãe.
O filme já inicia trazendo o misticismo para o debate da roda, e todo o contraponto com a labuta e o cotidiano do dia a dia, desde o ato sexual às idas ao médico, do ofício de marceneira ao almoço em família, toda essa materialidade faz com que as cenas pareçam soar como contraponto orgânico não apenas à cena inicial, mas ao delírio da protagonista e suas visões.
Óbvio que o filme apela para clichês do gênero, sustos com bichos feito aranhas negras, mortes que parecem acontecer somente na cabeça da protagonista. Com o recurso limitado e com a produção de arte tendo que se virar para entregar o melhor conteúdo e apelo técnico, temos um filme que não causa medo necessariamente, e sabendo das limitações do material, o diretor acertadamente joga para a trilha e para o bizarro todo aquele peso do desconhecido.
Sem trazer grandes inovações e sem arriscar algo mais bizarro para o seu filme, Cervera vai conduzindo o espectador até novamente defrontar-se com o misticismo, mesmo após o nascimento da criança, fechando o arco de forma redonda. É um filme que, apesar da reflexão que entrega, é de fácil digestão e certamente pode agradar o público genérico, em especial aqueles que já tiveram em contato ou ao menos já se indagaram sobre o peso de se criar um bebê.… Expand

Una de las pocas películas de terror que me han gustado este año. ¡Muy entretenida! Y si tu nivel de aguante de terror no es tan alto como el mío quizás te provoque algo de nervio... jajajaja

Something extra that I would like to mention is that it can remind you of other films about motherhood such as "Rosemary's Baby" and "The Babadook" since it also uses psychological horror (main genre of the film next to Body Terror)...

Of course, the film has some metaphors that one must investigate while watching it, which makes it very interesting ... I definitely recommend it a lot, especially to people who like horror that is not only commercial. 9/10

Ptt: The film can be somewhat uncomfortable because of the sounds of bones creaking even though it is not very loud either, and includes some nudity that does not exceed 2 min. of the total film, but that does not affect the experience of the film.… Expand
