Pousada da Paz

About This Movie

Pousada da Paz is this intriguing little horror short from 2008 that surprisingly packs a punch despite its low-budget roots. Set in a remote lodge, there's a creeping dread that builds throughout, drawing you into its unsettling atmosphere. The film, produced during a workshop for the 2nd Festival Motel X, captures that raw, indie vibe—it's not polished, but there's something genuine about it. The pacing is deliberate, allowing tension to simmer, and while the performances may not be masterclass, they convey the desperation and fear that the story thrives on. The practical effects, perhaps limited, do evoke a sense of unease that lingers. It’s definitely a unique piece in the landscape of horror, capturing both the charm and flaws of its origins.
