You know, this was a good movie, you can't take that away from it. But it wasn't particularly terror inducing or horrifying in any way for us. I'd honestly call this drama, with a supernatural 'element'. To be fair, as a drama, I'd probably give it 5 stars. But as a horror movie, with a nod to its great cinematography, sound design, directing, and editing, I can at best give it 4 skulls. In short, we didn't really find it to be a horror movie, other than the horrifying reality of life in Mexico during war on drug gangs. I think our disappointment ran a little deep as we sat down as a family to watch a horror movie for October and while we all liked the movie, we wished we chosen another one for family night; one more in line with Halloween horror. But to end on a positive, if you want a well made drama movie with just an element of supernatural horror, this would be a great one to watch.
Amazing, great movie.
