Cuidado con lo que deseas

"Cuidado con lo que deseas" is a bad film but with some funny scenes. The script as a horror movie is a flop, as a thriller film is decent. The acting is fine and the cinematography is perfect, but the script around a love triangle and a doll is stupid, the worst part is the doll special effects, really bad ones, even this character is introduced as the villain, but it was a great mistake, it's not scary and you really don't know if it is a good or a bad doll after all. The love triangle story is entertaining, without the doll this movie could be good as a thriller, that was the positive point: two brothers, a woman and evil plan.

It seems that the director liked the plot (in writing) but didn't work for a movie, in fact it looks that the whole plot/story was written by the little girl. The acting was poor, mediocre. The evil puppet was not good made, the CGI was more for a Toy Story movie rather than a horror movie, his movements were too smooth, it lacked of realism. In general, it was like watching a random episode of a generic Mexican telenovela more than a horror movie, the ending was also a bit pathetic. Mexican productions are improving every day but for the horror/terror genre they are still thousands of thousands of kilometers behind Hollywood.

This movie is about a wealthy family that decides to spend their daughter's birthday in a vacation house in the woods. When they arrive the girl starts complaining about their decision to only invite her uncle and not her friends, so conveniently for the plot, the uncle decides to give her a gift that night so she could be happy, which is a disturbing-looking puppet harlequin and a puppet theater, a few minutes later the doll comes to life in literally the worse CGI ever and little by little starts unveiling her family's evil plans and the reason why they wanted to be alone and away from the city.

It is hard to describe how bad this movie is, with the premise they want you to think it is a horror movie where the doll is actually relevant but it isn't. It is just another mediocre thriller about a love triangle with horrible acting, predictable plot and the added fact that a doll with cringeworthy CGI simply exists. Yes, the doll is not even mysterious like Anabelle or evil like Chucky, he can talk, walk, dance and has the only supernatural power of telling the girl what their parents are doing, even when they are having sex, yes along with many unnecessary sex scenes the doll explicitly tells the girl their parents are having sex.

By the way, the puppet's CGI entrance when it comes to like it actually makes you feel you are watching PJ masks or any other kid's show.

1/10

No es la mejor película pero resulta palomera y además pues algo diferente a lo que el cine mexicano siempre presenta.

It's a great mystery movie. The story takes you little by little, you don't know what is going to happen as it poses different scenarios.
