It's a shame that the writing falls short since there was some real promise to what this film could be. It's not horrendously bad by any means, but there's a lot of room for improvement.

Rated: 4/10

Director Arturo Lizardi (great name!) produces something here which is full of imagination, but ends up, for the most part, like Frankenstein's pieced together monster.

An impressive all-around production can't overcome the muddled story its trying to tell. [Full review in Spanish]

Often frustrating as this is the kind of interesting, fleshed out world worth getting invested in if it were more inviting.

More than just fantasy, the movie also takes on aspects of a mystery and thriller that are not normally seen in the genre. It does not always work, but its worth a watch.

This film has all the elements of being great, but I tired of its two-note presentation. It could really benefit being run through the hands of a skilled editor, who knows how to ignite the rhythms of scenes and story elements. If this were based on a book, I would really be interested in reading it.

I'm always a sucker for genre mixing especially when one of those genres is fantasy. Trail of Ashes attempts to try something different but it doesn't always work out in the end. Even so I feel like the acting from director/writer Arturo Lizardi along with the cinematography are more than enough to keep people intrigued. For more please check out my Youtube channel.
