Estranhas Luzes

About This Movie

Estranhas Luzes is one of those slow-burn films that really sticks with you. It plays with atmosphere in a unique way, blending elements of drama, horror, and science fiction. The purple light from the mountains is almost like a character itself—mysterious and foreboding. There's a real sense of isolation in Paulo’s journey back to Itaitinga, which adds to the overall tension. The practical effects are intriguing, not overly polished, which gives it this raw edge. Performances are subtle but impactful; you really feel the weight of Paulo’s past and how it haunts him. It’s not your typical horror flick; it’s more about the psychological unraveling than jump scares, which I appreciate.
