Céntrico

About This Movie

Céntrico is a curious blend of drama and horror that, while not groundbreaking, manages to pull you into its unsettling atmosphere. The film follows Ernesto and Nati as they try to navigate a weekend getaway with their young son Pablo, hoping for some light-hearted family fun. Instead, they find themselves in a rather uncanny setting that plays with themes of urban alienation and hidden dangers beneath surface normality. The pacing is deliberate, building tension gradually, which creates an almost claustrophobic feel as the story unfolds. The practical effects are used sparingly but effectively, adding to the film’s moody ambiance. Performances are solid, capturing that familial warmth just before it starts to unravel. It’s an interesting exploration of what lies beneath the surface of city life.
