By the title, you expect this movie to be a terror/suspense movie.. don't be fooled, it is not! the approach of the storyline is from the Christian standpoint, so basically the message of the movie is that praying to La Santa Muerte is the same as worshiping the devil and you should believe in Jesus Christ... I don't have a problem with that, however, the acting, storyline and dialogue it's just horrible!! no one in Mexico talks like the characters in the movie do, it's just not credible, everybody talks like it was some horrible soap opera and it's just plain annoying, it's ridiculous... The director used three or four stories in the movie and tried to use the Pulp Fiction approach in which all the story lines are connected somehow... something that has been done already in more successful/well directed movies in the past... Anyways, don't waste your time on this piece of crap movie, it's not worth it!

Spanish-language cinema across Spain and Latin America is united by its engagement with history, cultural identity, and social transformation. In Spain, films often balance artistic experimentation with popular genres while reflecting on memory, politics, and family. In Latin America, cinema has been deeply tied to questions of colonial legacy, resistance, and community resilience, ranging from intimate dramas to bold political allegories.
