Fun shot on video horror flick with a dark tone.

This no-budget SOV mexican horror film might be raw and perhaps too long but it captures childhood friendships and old nostalgic times very well, contained within a horror story about a serial killer murdering kids but Leopoldo Laborde directs it quite efficiently and delivers the gore and tension one expects but also presents a rather moody atmospheric dark visual style.

A good representation of the fears many kids have when living in a country like this. Humble movie with a lot of heart and an interesting vision.
