Terrified

Un mélange typiquement argentin de scènes d'horreur réussies et d'humour dans les dialogues, qui allège inutilement la trame sérieuse du surnaturel. La particularité de la mentalité argentine se reflète toujours dans la perception créative et cinématographique du divertissement. Comme si les Argentins ne voulaient pas ou ne savaient pas prendre l'horreur totalement au sérieux, même s'ils savent presque parfaitement réaliser des scènes effrayantes. Dommage. La construction de l'intrigue et son cadre étaient bons ici. [Sitges FF] JEREMIE (06/10/2018)

Strange incidents are happening in a neighborhood in Buenos Aires and three paranormal experts are called in to look into it. In terms of acting and story, the film doesn't dazzle, but when it comes to the scares, it is very effective, mainly due to the impressive cinematography, which captures the boogeymen in a different style than we are used to. The atmosphere is uncomfortably stuffy, the music is solid, and the scares are plenty. The creative look of the strange monster is also intriguing, and the naked Gollum under the bed was very disturbing. The highlight is probably the opening scene, where a floating woman brutally smashes herself against the bathroom walls. A very pleasant surprise that gave me chills and had me feeling uncomfortable most of the time. 75%. (31/03/2019)
