Penumbra

A woman unwittingly rents her apartment to a strange man with sinister intentions in this South American slow-burner that combines stylistic elements of classic Roman Polanski films with a contemporary vision. Marga is a highly motivated businesswoman in Buenos Aires. While a solar eclipse is exciting the city, Marga must find a new tenant for her family's apartment. But when the mysterious Jorge shows up with four times the asking price, Marga signs. But when Jorge starts stripping the wallpaper, what's behind it signals a startling fate worse than death.

Good movie. A bit slow in the beginning but picked up. Only thing was that they could be more clear on the ritual
A slow burn movie that keeps you guessing, would recommend.
I felt like this one could have been better, sometimes the score messed things up going from serious to dorky at times. Definitely not wasted time.
Very interesting and menacing spanish film from Adrian Garcia Bogliano, who is quickly making himself a real voice in the genre, that has a wonderful sense of suspense and character. An entitled, sometimes mean spirited young woman gets herself quickly in over her head without realizing it...and then things just slowly escalate in a thoroughly engrossing way. It's worst sin is that it feels a little drawn out at times, and some viewers may have some issues with the unlikable protagonist, but it's a fun watch. Adrian Garcia Bogliano is a talent to watch.
Really dull.
