This swampy, slow-burn thriller is part-horror and part puzzle, tackling thorny issues of colonialism, race and family legitimacy in original and intriguing style. Go to Full Review Isaac Feldberg RogerEbert.com May 27, 2026
It successfully accrues tension ahead of its explosive finale, one that pays off the story’s slow boil with an outward spiral of violence brutal enough to stain the soil red, Peckinpah-style. Go to Full Review Wendy Ide Screen International May 26, 2026
The least assured of Armand’s films to date, with Argento’s jarring casting and uneasy performance something of a stumbling block. Still, there’s enough here that’s intriguing and unsettling. Go to Full Review Carlos Esquives Cinencuentro 8 hrs ago

A fascinating look at Venezuelan colonialism, capitalism, and history that doesn’t neatly fit into the horror genre, but still delivers a haunting message that will have you thinking about it long after the credits roll. Go to Full Review Alan French Sunshine State Cineplex 1 day ago
7/10
It’s a violent, crazy ride that explores the ways that violence begets violence. More importantly, those who use violence to gain further control believe they are immune from the consequences. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
