It would not be an exaggeration to say that writers/directors Germán Tejeira and Roberto Suárez were influenced by the early works of David Lynch. Because the Uruguayan filmmakers' capture of the Lynchian atmosphere in "Ojos de Madera" clearly stems from their deep admiration for Lynch.
Despite his young age, Arauco Hernández Holz, who demonstrates considerable talent as a cinematographer, and the cast of actors who are not well-known globally, add depth to the film's atmosphere.
It saddens me that such films are so little known... Especially knowing that big companies like Horror Cinema are ruining the industry by spending big money on bad films.

I went to see this film at the International Cinema Forum that is taking place in some selected theaters in Mexico. When I read the synopsis it captivated me, and I wanted to go and see it as soon as I could. And now that I did it, I have to say that it's one hell of a movie.
The storyline is easy to understand and the running time is very short. But despite those facts, it manages to create an undeniable tension that keeps you at the edge of your seat, which makes you think that it's much longer.
It also has very good acting, photography, and soundtrack. The photography sometimes feels as if we were watching a movie of the past century, which is great. And the perfect camera angles and shots, along with the music, provide a dark, unssetling and nightmarish atmosphere.
In conclussion, if you have the chance, go and see it. It's a great thriller that has to be seen by everyone who loves cinema and art in general, and being captivated by it
Enjoy!
