Benitez · Marina Cohen
No one
should write a a plot description for this film. And, likewise, if someone
does commit that sacrilege, nobody should read it. This movie - like the
other Daniel de la Vega productions [NECROPHOBIA,
BLOOD
BROTHERS, et al] - exists inside a completely new horror
landscape where (at first) the story seems familiar but then it veers
into numerous totally unexpected directions. As a 'Daniel de la Vega'
film unspools, the viewer often thinks "Oh, I know where this is
going" only to say "I've never seen that before" by the
end. Suffice, the, a very brief description: Virginia will do the impossible
to rescue her little daughter Rebeca who has been abducted by a mysterious
cult.
The script
is written by Adrian Garcia Bogliano and his brother Ramiro. They are
best known for directing I'LL
NEVER DIE ALONE, 36
STEPS, COLD
SWEAT (among others). Officially, Bogliano describes this film
as "Duel meets Wicker Man with a touch
of Kill Bill." It is a fast-paced, gory thrill ride
that [please note] defies the cinematic taboo of putting children
in extreme danger. Not all the kid characters are still alive when the
final credits roll.
