Rosario is a body horror film, with a dead body and a possible curse from an Afro-Cuban religion, Palo Mayombe, at the heart of it. While director Felipe Vargas’ Rosario has an interesting basic idea, the cast is good and it does have some great practical effects, the script by Alan Trezza does not live up to the idea’s potential.

And much of what happens seems to be there just to set up the next horror effect. Admittedly, those practical effects are very good but you have to have a story that makes sense too.
