The film's fine adolescent performers deliver excellent portrayals mature beyond their years, and the picture skillfully mixes a unique blend of fright, action and surprisingly salty humor. It's gratifying to see a film of this genre that successfully resists the temptation to sanitize its material, given its young cast members, but sensitive viewers should nevertheless beware that director Issa Lopez holds little back (though, thankfully, without becoming gratuitous or grotesque). Fans of smart horror releases are sure to enjoy this offering, a work reminiscent of the early films of Guillermo del Toro, gritty but not gross and eminently entertaining.… Expand

Ενα στοιχειωτικό παραμύθι τρόμου που εξελίσσεται με υπόβαθρο τον ολέθριο ναρκωπόλεμο του Μεξικού.

Το φίλμ ακολουθεί μια ομάδα ορφανών παιδιών, οπλισμένων με τρείς μαγικές ευχές, που τρέχουν να ξεφύγουν απο τα φαντάσματα που τους κυνηγούν και το καρτέλ που σκότωσε τους γονείς τους.
Η δημιουργός Issa López δημιουργεί εναν κόσμο που θυμίζει τα πρώτα φίλμ του Guillermo del Toro, εμπλουτισμένα με την δική της αστική εκδοχή στον μαγικό ρεαλισμό, μια μοναδική εμπειρία που οι θεατές δεν θα ξεχάσουν εύκολα.… Expand

It would have been better if Issa López had avoided the similarities with the magical realism of her countryman del Toro.
