David P Nov 8 Excelente película, muestra una mirada interesante de las culturas locales. See more Claudio C Nov 5 Shaman (2025) The Story is not Good (12,039 – 04 Nov 2025 – by Claudio Carvalho) The Christian missionaries Candice (Sara Canning) and Joel (Daniel Gillies) and their son Elliot (Jett Klyne) live in a remote Indian village in Ecuador converting the residents into the Christianism. One day, Elliot is playing with his airplane with two local boys, and the airplane falls into a cave. The boys tell him that he must not enter the forbidden cave, but Elliot goes there and finds his airplane but loses his watch. Soon he becomes ill and changes his behavior towards his parents. The alcoholic Father Meyer (Alejandro Fajardo), who was a medical doctor in the past, visits the family and soon, together with Candice, they realize that Elliot needs an exorcism. But the local Shaman (Humberto Morales) says that the evil spirit that possessed Elliot will not leave him. “Shaman” (2025) is another movie of possession and exorcism in the interior of Ecuador. Unfortunately, the story is not good, especially the conclusion. I am not a religious man, but recognize that Christian people, especially those with missionary work, would never sacrifice a boy to save their son back. Therefore, the conclusion is totally disappointing. My vote is four.
