    Very well done

    Simply put, a very well done movie. The script is consistent, the history flows nicelly and the plot is good. Much better than this Annabelle/conjuring movies.

    Original movie !

    Interesting movie that goes off the beaten track. Good scenario and good acting ! Warning : some very gore scenes...

    Once you get into it's scary!

    This was much scarier than la Llorona that was made earlier this year. I really didn't know what to expect when I started watching this but I was pretty impressed. It was quite scary! Original

    It has all good ingredients maybe some of them were overcooked - still good

    I am a long time horror movies fan. I loved The sixth sense, The others, some of the Paranormal Actitvity etc. This Brazilian movie is the type of movie which horror movies fans will enjoy no matter what. You can get some nice bone chilling moments. Sometimes, it even looked like an American production. The issue for me is that the movie took a loop which could have been better developed but unfortunately it satyed in the loop. It is a fair 7 rated movie. It means it is Worth watching. Over time, this movie can be used for future Brazilian movies to set some standards. It is also a movie using Brazilian poorer neighborhoods - outskirts if you will, those are the places where violence punches in, 24/7.

    Mixed bag, but satisfying

    The acting is excellent, the settings are very good, the music is atmospheric, but the CG effects really suck.

    This is a low cost horror movie about a mortician who talks to the recently deceased. He then breaks unwritten rules regarding the secrets of the dead, which brings nefarious consequences.

    The movie is satisfyingly scary, with good amounts of gore, jump scares, and many scenes that elicit desperation. It is not a one-trick pony as so many horror movies are.

    Overall, the production values are low and present a ceiling to the grade of my review.
