Los confines

About This Movie

So, 'Los confines' is this offbeat blend of fantasy and horror, drawing heavily from Juan Rulfo's surreal storytelling. It's not your typical narrative; you get this eerie atmosphere that feels dense, almost suffocating, as Juan Preciado searches for his father in a world where magic and reality intertwine. The pacing is slow, but it kind of works in building tension. The practical effects might not be top-notch, but they contribute to the unsettling vibe. The performances, though, really stand out; there's a rawness to them that adds depth. You’ve got these themes of familial ties and existential dread playing out against a backdrop that feels both familiar and otherworldly. It’s definitely distinctive, something that lingers after watching.
