All The Moons
Directed by Igor Legarreta
North of Spain, end of the 19th century. During the final throes of the last Carlist war, a little girl is rescued from an orphanage by a mysterious woman who lives deep inside the forest. Badly wounded and close to death, the girl believes the woman to be an angel who has come to take her to Heaven. Soon, however, she will discover that what this strange being has actually given her is the gift of eternal life... by turning her into a vampire. Left with no choice but to accept her new condition, she will have to learn to live in the profound and painful loneliness of time, trapped inside her little girl’s body. An infinity of moons go by before, one day, she meets Cándido, a humble man who takes her in and treats her as if she were his own daughter. Now the little girl will be set on a new path, one that will see her rebel against her animalistic nature and revive in her the hope of getting back the life that was stolen from her.

I don’t dig vampires but this was really well shot. Concept was fine but not my bag. Worth a go though.
gorgeous film. made me cry. less of a horror, but one of the best vampire films ive ever seen and a perfect example of how the vampire trope can be elevated when taken seriously. love love love
This is definitely a 5/5. It's far more of a dramatic film than a horror, but it still has horror elements. Imagine a fairy tale like Pan's Labrynth, but maybe rated PG. The filmmaking overall is exceptional, with great acting and cinematography. The comparison to Pan's Labrynth is also because while this movie ends at the beginning of the Spanish Civil War, Pan's Labrynth begins well into the that same war. This is a bit different than most other movies on Shudder, but it's a quality film that is worth checking out.
I did not expect to be so moved. This film broke my heart.
Brilliant
