I was really blown away by this entry. Once again Hulu's Into the Dark horror anthology series has spotlighted a director with real talent and something to say. Culture Shock may be the series best film and certainly the most important. TheI was really blown away by this entry. Once again Hulu's Into the Dark horror anthology series has spotlighted a director with real talent and something to say. Culture Shock may be the series best film and certainly the most important. The film tells the tale of a young pregnant Mexican woman trying to cross the border with a group of people. The first third of the film deals with the challenges she deals with on a daily basis and the past horrors she's endured. The second part has her caught by border police and she awakes in a beautiful colorful home with a house mother of sorts played by a wonderfully weird Barbara Crampton (From Beyond). As she explores the "traditional" American dream neighborhood she begins to discover imperfections and soon becomes aware of a hidden nightmare she's living. The performances are solid all around especially from lead Martha Higareda (Borderland) who gives her character a strength and vulnerability that's really impressive. The direction from Gigi Saul Guerrero (Mexico Barbero) is confident, creepy and informative but not in a preachy way. The movie gets its point across but still manages to be entertaining. I usually avoid political themed movies but I'm happy I gave this one a shot. It is a really great film with a unique perspective that needs to be seen.
