Carla Hay Culture Mix Jan 28, 2022
The Curse of La Patasola is yet another unimaginative horror movie that takes place in an isolated wooded area, where people have terror inflicted on them by an evil spirit. There are absolutely no surprises in this horrendously dull, amateurish movie. Go to Full Review

After a standard cold open and intriguing opening credits., things quickly go downhill. The movie puts itself in a hold it is never able to get out of. Go to Full Review

Charles P @RT36323923 May 14, 2025 Jaysus H. Krispies this one smells worse than the supposed catfish they catch during the all-too-dull build up. Dislikable characters all around (you'll end up rooting for the cgi hag thingy) and a plot that could be better put together by a grade schooler. It is...BAD. See more Jeffrey P @vanillavoodoo1 Jun 25, 2023 A plot without purpose and an end with no meaning. See more Susan E @RT13677127 Nov 1, 2022 Ok so the 1st thing you need to do if you are going to subject yourself to this movie is fast forward thru the 1st hour (at least). The Patasola - um - well it looked good for a little while during the end of the movie until you get a long shot and then wow. It was SO BAD! The deformed lump looked like a bad attempt a child made at a clay figure. The script needed help - a lot of help. If you have 2 hours of your life you want to waste then be my guest. I would PASS on this one!!!!! See more fred p @RT54329054 Sep 29, 2022 AJ Jones first directorial event shows a knack of competency and his camera placement (with the cinematographer) is adequate. His acting is atrocious. A terrible screenplay/story along with characters that are not engaging with with their negative attitudes with the world and themselves lend to a bore fest. The action/scares are not any good either. All in all, don't view this crapper unless you have time to waste. See more Jan 26, 2022 A well made film in a beautiful, yet eerie, location. The soundtrack was perfect and captured the mood throughout the film. The leads were very convincing in their roles and I'm looking forward to their next projects! See more Jan 26, 2022 I especially liked the character development and final reveal of the monster. Great combination of practical monster making and VFX. Def. worth a watch.
