Hooptober day 4
A very suspenseful slasher dripping with luscious Mexican gothic.
The grave robbing scene is a masterclass in atmosphere, with its wind and rain. The opening scene really sets the tone.
The main, grave-robbing, teen characters we are introduced to are really fun and compelling. I love their costume design and I’m happy with our final duo.
The moments of gore are really cool, especially that jaw-dropping scene in the prison cell, and the kills were great, but honestly I cared more about the main characters than the kills. The killer’s design is also really good and fits the tone.
The only thing that brings this down from a 5 to a 4 is that the 4 main grave-robbing characters we are introduced to are put aside in the second act, and the film decides to focus on generic characters, with the main characters only ever fully taking the wheel again in the last 10-15 minutes. I feel like the main characters had a lot going for them. I feel like you can still add fodder characters for kills while still keeping the main characters in focus.
Honestly, that’s my only problem with the film. This film is a blast. Great atmosphere, great gore and a great time was had.
