El Exorcismo de Carmen Farías

*Roughly Translated From Brazilian Portuguese.

Film Review: The exorcism of Carmen Farias.

Hello my dear readers. Today I bring you a pleasant surprise that I had.

Carmen Farias' exorcism is apparently a Mexican production. I don't know how much money was involved in the production, but it seems to me that they made a lot, with little. The impression it gives is that there was a lot of care on the part of the production in all aspects of this film.

Very well balanced, it gives the impression that maybe the director doesn't have the opportunity to make another movie like this again, or maybe he's just capricious.

There's nothing pasty here. He is serious and dramatic. Don't expect a "blockbuster" full of "jumpscares"... that's not his proposal. I'd say it's an "immersive horror" where the film's atmosphere holds, not its special features.

It is a film where a lot of affection on the part of the production is perceptible. There is a beautiful photograph allied to an excellent set of cameras.

Its plot is classic and innovative at the same time, which is the envy of any Hollywood production. The film brings a relatively simple concept, with many references to other films, but worked in a harmonious way. The same goes for the special effects and makeup, which are few and well placed.

But not everything is perfect. Its slow but engaging start, despite being part of this immersion work, can make the viewer feel discouraged. And also its ending, the high point of the film, makes everything unfold very quickly, a situation that could have lasted a little longer. But despite being fast, it's satisfying.

In short, it is a very affectionate production with his work.

Watch when you want to be surprised. It's so worth it.

Rating: 4/5 - Very good movie.
