Two sisters go to the beach to spread their mother’s ashes. After one goes in the water something isn’t quite right with her.
Very deliberate horror film from Chile takes its time and
builds a mood. Actually, it opens with something that had me sit up and take
notice. At that point I was willing to go anywhere with it. I was willing to let it go and do what it had
to and I was richly rewarded by the pay off. There was a moment where something
happens and I audibly reacted with an “oh crap”. At that point the chills really
set in as I realized what was going on. It was like suddenly finding out that somewhere
along the way someone slipped me into a coat of horror.
This is a super film.
It’s a perfect example as to why jump scares and loud noises aren’t what
you want to have if you want a film to hang with your audience for days afterward.
Recommended.
