El secreto de Sinchanee

Moody indie film that simmers all the way through to the end. I loved the overall "lived-in" feeling of the film. The tow shop that the main character works at was one of my favorite settings. Also, the casting and the performances from the actors all played very real and they all looked like they fit their respective roles. I also thought it was interesting how the main protagonist at the tow shop becomes the antagonist halfway through the film - and the female detective pursuing him becomes the protagonist. That's an effective switch in the writing that I thought worked well and gave the audience a bit of reprieve from the intensity as well as the slow build to the end. I saw that this film premiered at the Raindance Film Festival in the UK in the "Screamdance" section and went on to win Best Writer, Best Film Score, and was Nominated for Best Cinematography and Best Feature Film Fiction at various international film festivals. I think that was well deserved given the solid filmmaking here.

I thoroughly enjoyed this film. It was really well made and there's a lot to like here folks. The acting was really good with some really strong and understated performances. I read some of the bad reviews that said this film was boring. I couldn't disagree more. You do need to pay attention to the multiple stories and various plot lines, but this kept me interested rather than bored. As most have stated, this is an extremely unique and original story. It may not be for everyone. And that's okay. It's not something you come across often so that wins a lot of points in my books too. The cinematography was beautiful and the soundtrack was haunting and heart pounding. The winter setting in New England was also a perfect fit for the mood and storytelling. Over all seven stars for me. I really enjoyed it and would recommend this film to anyone. It's definitely worth checking out.

I really liked this. It reminded me of the VVitch and Wretched. I love horror movies that keep the evil entities in the background, where you just catch a glimpse of something standing in a corner or among the trees.

It went a bit over the top at the end, but it was all relevant to the story.

Excellent direction, beautiful and chilling scenery.

First off - I'm never going to New England. Between the Salem Witches and everything Stephen King writes - hell naw! This was a thoughtful film, more like a character study I would say. It has horror and paranormal elements, though I would say it is a thriller. We were able to watch it with our kids.

Be patient with this film. The opening set-up is worth the final pay-off. Above average film outing with lots of plot twists and beautiful scenery. Would recommend it.
