Sophia and Josh are a couple in the middle of a divorce traveling to Colombia for a work conference. On their free day they decide to do a hiking trip to 'El sendero la chorrera' in the Natural Reserve Park La Chorrera. They're warned about 'las arenas', a dangerous part of the trail made of quicksand and infested by poisonous snakes. But they end up being forced to cross the area and both end trapped in quicksand. With no help, a storm approaching, and snakes surrounding the place Sophia and Josh will have to push their differences aside if they want to survive.

Quicksand follows the well known formula of survival films making it predictable from the start. The story is short, simple to follow and understand without any shocking moment or plot twist. The side plot doesn't add any groundbreaking aspect to the narrative making it unnecessary. The concept of quicksand and snakes is a good and interesting one with the potential of bringing a more emotional story but it turns just decent. Both Carolina Gaitán and Allan Hawco as Sophia and Josh did as much as the direction and scrip allowed them. Portraying a couple in the middle of a divorce with a lot of resentment for each other is the most believable and part of the film. Gaitán and Hawco are able to make their hateful feeling for each other look and feel real and while this is a positive aspect for their initial situation they're supposed to have a moment of reconciliation and that feeling of love and affection never truly arrives. At the end Quicksand turns into another decent horror triller with missed opportunities and wasted potential.

Insidious: The Red Door starts right were we saw the Lamberts the last time, with Josh and Dalton's memories being suppressed by Carl. Nine years later, Dalton is headed to college and the demon that once hunted him is back. Through the film the first two installments are referenced serving as a memory refresher. The first act is way too slow, dragging the film with taking too long to get to the point making act 2 and act 3 feel rushed. Even so, is a good debut for Patrick Wilson as a director. He took his knowledge and experience in the genre to bring a good finale to the Lambert's story. Both Wilson and Ty Simpkins performances brings a more emotional side of their characters creating a believable story.

As expected, the film is full of jump scares but not all of them are predictable. The dark atmosphere builds up the tension creating scary moments that will make more than one jump of their seats. Compared to the rest of the franchise, Insidious: The Red Door is a good addition to it being better than Insidious: Chapter 3 (2015) and Insidious: The Last Key (2018) but not as outstanding as the first two. Don't leave when the film ends if you don't want to miss the post-credit scene and the end credits song by the Swedish rock band Ghost and a special guest.

After reading the synopsis and watching the trailer the least I was expecting was that Unwelcome is more of a home invasion horror film than a folk one. Opening with the protagonists Maya and Jamie just finding out that she's pregnant, the celebration doesn't last since they're attacked in their own apartment in London. A few months after the attack the couple moves to rural Ireland after Jamie inherited a house from his great-aunt Maeve after her death. What looks like a fresh start will quickly turn into their biggest nightmare.

Unwelcome feels like two films merged into one. While it presents beautiful shots of the Irish countryside the messy scrip and unlikeable characters make this film hard to watch or end. The main attraction of the film, the elfs known as Red Caps, are only present in the last fifteen minutes. For a folk horror movie that focuses on that creatures it doesn't even make sense, just like the scrip. The storyline is all over the place and doesn't connect with what the film is supposed to be. The concept is original but is poorly executed.

The acting is decent at best but the majority of the characters, specially Daddy Whelan and his family, are unnecessary rude and unbearable. If that was the purpose then they achieved it, you won't even feel sorry for their outcome. The creatures needed more screen time since they could have be the only salvageable aspect of the film. The practical effects are also decent but not outstanding. There's a plot twist at the end that unfortunately doesn't provoque any emotions even when is not predictable. The ending feels as senseless as the whole film making this film a one-time watch.
