Social metaphor in a classic horror tale
25 June 2023
It is not simply a horror film, it is rather a daring on the part of its director Bomani J. Story to offer us a harsh and cruel metaphor on the racial and social issues that a certain part of society faces in a world bathed in horror.

With this argument, the film takes us to its own version of a classic horror tale and it does so in its own style and with its own arguments, giving us a forceful film that is established as one of the best we have of the year in terms of the horror genre. That this 2023 has given us.

The humanity of its characters and the fear of death make up a script that is not limited to being politically correct, it is a film with guts and cruelty in the same adventure. It is a cruel film that clearly and sinisterly addresses the constant nightmare that surrounds its characters: Laya DeLeon Hayes's powerful performance helps a lot, as she shoulders the dramatic weight of the film and makes it full of emotions and nuances that They captivate you and become attached to their character.

By having character, the film brings out the power of its director who knows how to give you good moments during its precise 91 minutes. Its director gives us a moving and bloodstained cry for control, which ends up giving us a wonderful, tragic and terrifying film, which gives us a breath of fresh air in a genre in which these types of daring are always appreciated.

A bet that is rightly inscribed among the highlights of what is going on in this 2023, it is not perfect, it is true it has a couple of things that prevent it from being totally round, but in any case we have the feeling of being in front of one of the great titles that we have of the year, both for their daring when it comes to setting out their premise and knowing how to manage a perfect connection with the viewer in a world where the film always plays on the finest thread of limits.
