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.

Amazing Film, great cast, and outstanding story! A Must watch!
A great movie, no matter what genre you want to put it in. Reminds me of the movie "Ghost" with Patrick Swayze from the 1980s, except with a lot of very good child actors.
Fantastic film by Issa Lopez that portrays tragic realities painfully well. For those saying this isn't horror ... horror is more than Texas Chainsaw Massacre or a Fulci Zombie movie. Horror comes in many forms and this film displays various multilayers of horror, real life horrors, beautifully.
This is the best movie I've ever seen about ghosts killing their murderer through the clever use of children.
Brilliant movie. Watch it
