Viewing Notes

An Independent Mexican production with loads of gothic style plus touches of humor here and there make this one pretty fun, even if the plot devices don’t always make the most sense. This feels like a throwback to ‘30s and ‘40s era Hollywood horror films with beautifully crafted sets, great lighting and cinematography.
