Film Threat

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 is not a real review, it should be taken more as a collection of impressions on the film. This film doesn't have an ending, damn it, that is, there actually is an ending but it's not absolutely satisfactory and in my opinion this film deserved something better because at least the second part, even if boring, is cute and full of mystery. In my opinion the film is clearly divided into two parts, the first part is very boring and without rhyme or reason, in the second part however the film at least makes sense while remaining very boring and very slow but at least it captivates the viewer to the extent of the rubbish that it is the end. So the beginning is boring, the development is boring but at least it's interesting and the ending is boring and also bad.

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.
