Tigers Are Not Afraid

Directed by Issa López

A haunting horror fairytale set against the backdrop of Mexico’s devastating drug wars,​ TIGERS ARE NOT AFRAID follows a group of orphaned children armed with three magical wishes, running from the ghosts that haunt them and the cartel that murdered their parents. Filmmaker Issa López creates a world that recalls the early films of Guillermo del Toro, imbued with her own gritty urban spin on magical realism to conjure a wholly unique experience that audiences will not soon forget. A SHUDDER EXCLUSIVE.

I had read so many glowing reviews of this movie I had to check it out. Oh boy. I got about 30 minutes in and could not go any further. I am Hispanic and was intrigued by the magical realism spin to the movie but it was SO boring I was just not invested enough to get to it. This is a drama about poverty, tragedy, and loss. It was competently shot and the kids were pretty good actors, but it did not grab me at all.

I’m going 4 stars as a movie. As a horror movie it would be 1 star as it’s not a horror movie at all. Worth a watch for sure but not if you’re looking for horror.
