Purely Joyful Movie!

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.

I have just finished viewing this movie, saw the tailer in youtube and it seemed like a standard scary movie for a Friday night, you know just to pass time.You see this nice movie start the grind of someone that is reliving everyday the grind, like her on very own in-life purgatory trying to achieve her goal.But days come in and go by and you start to see the toll on the character, so close and so far away from her goal.The movie borders on slow and repetitive but aided by an amazing lead and intelligent script and nice cinematography and score one decides to soldier on and keep on watching.A few minutes before the ending you feel it is just a regular zombie, haunted house movie with a predictable end... but just as we come full circle at the end the movie, all the questions you had, all the inconsistencies you thought to have picked through the movie just explain themselves out in an absolutely amazing way.The grind, the repetitiveness of every day, the sympathy for the lead they are answered and in the end it comes up as a reward to the viewer.20 minutes before the movie closed I was just thinking to myself, nice little art movie but pretty doesn't make for substance... 4/10... at the end... 8/10... how many movies do you know that not only do not drop the ball at the end much less raise the bar of the movie to a whole other level?Recommended without a doubt... and if I use JeremyJahns' ratings this is "Definitely worth buying on bluray"

Trying to write this without a spoiler - hmmmmm. The story line jumps around unconnected and is not believable (there has to be a small thread of possibility that this movie lacks). A woman from El Salvador is working to make money to help her son that lives with her mother. The "horror" make-up is really bad. It will really remind you of the stuff you purchase once a year at those pop-up Halloween stores.The acting is poor. Not sure what else to say about that. And I really enjoy seeing unknowns over "big names" - but these actors just weren't working here. There is excessive BOTOX. You would think by now there would be a clause in contract regarding BOTOX prior to filming. And the last few minutes ultimately try to tie together an entire movie that made no sense. Unclear why there were so many breaks with food, chopping and cooking - maybe to tie it into the title - but it brings nothing to the disjointed movie.

Having seen the trailer a few months ago, this movie instantly went on my check-list as a must-see movie. The film starts with an interesting story as a mother works to save money for her ill child who lives far away. Soon she starts to see some strange things and she begins to question her sanity. I liked this direction as the occasional specter would show up unannounced and leave just as quickly. We are left wondering if they are "real" or if they are just "real" to her. From the trailer I expected this film to creep my out a lot more than it did. Granted I have a high tolerance to being scared but I had hopes in what the trailer seemed to promise. Towards the 3/4 mark the film seemed to lose steam as we begin to see what is really going on (if you guessed it like I did) with the main character. What doesn't really make sense to me is why she would just start killing people like mad. Sure she had just lost her son but why the heck does that make her character just start killing people? Didn't seem to fit with the character in my opinion. Ultimately not scary and not shocking.

this isn't your usual horror movie. it's slow moving but never boring, easy on the eye but always uneasy.very well-acted and executed.i liked the food preparation scenes, and very sympathetic to the protagonist.it's gruesome, unpredictable, and sad.if you are tired of slasher/monster/ghost horror,then i would recommend it. if you're into the over-done gore then give it a miss. i have watched too many horror films to be cynical about this one which tries to do something different, and successfully.
