Perhaps horror isn't exactly the right word to describe this eerie, bloody, sexy movie.

[Amat Escalante's] film may lack the subtlety of Val Lewton's famously allusive RKO chillers, but there's the same sense that the shadowy rooms braved by the characters are no less than the human psyche itself.

Despite the avowed debt to Andrzej Żuławski's famously disturbing 1981 film Possession, this is bracingly individual stuff. Just don't expect to touch calamari again in a hurry.

An uneasy hybrid of gritty Mexican drama and weird, David Cronenberg-style body horror.

This film is a very sly, subversive and disturbing black tragicomedy about a universal secret addiction.

Aug 18, 2017I didn't know what the hell I was getting into at the time though, I found this film to be a weird combination of family drama with an H.P. Lovecraftian intersection into the narrative. While not some straight up creature feature, it's that explicit image that's going to stick to people's minds when they watch this film. Forget that tentacle scene in 'Rogue One' that felt unnecessary, here it plays an important part in underlining the central subject matter of either helping out one with their social problems or being a strange source of their destruction since it came from an unusual origin that not all surprising. It was mostly a well crafted film with some great cinematography showcasing the outskirts of Mexican society in the countryside. As was the written aspect of the mystery underling in the drama of it's character's, audiences are forcefully invested in. You this certain something exists and there's proof throughout the film to reveal why, though the pacing is slow and the film doesn't offer a lot of thinking power to initial plot progression. Why you may forgive the film for it's flaws, it's nonetheless a weird fascination of the unknown interrupting our daily lives, recommended purely for those who love the weird underside of life.Luke E Super Reviewer
