Written and directed by Fernando Barreda Luna. Starring Cristian Valencia, Clara Moraleda and Rafael Amaya.
Plot: 2 teenage siblings have a terrifying experience while investigating a legend near their family’s vacation home.
Cristian (Valencia) and his sister, July (Moraleda) host a web-show investigating urban legends. They plan to investigate one about a girl named Melinda, who disappeared in 1940 and now haunts the woods near their vacation home. But the movie’s not really about their web-show or Melinda. It’s more about the secrets within their own family that they don’t know about.
When the movie ended, I had to have DJ explain to me what happened, so he ended up giving it more points than I did, but not by much. They put the dog in the movie just to kill it, of course. And while the movie is very tense, we kept waiting for something truly scary to happen and it never quite did. I also hated the motive, while DJ liked it.
Still, neither of us really recommend it unless you’re a diehard Spanish horror movie fan. It’s simply not for everyone else.
I suppose I could list my favorite movies here, but instead I'll give you a strange glimpse into what makes me TaraRomero.
1. My favorite place in the world is Atlantic City. The food, the smells, the beach - I love it all.
2. I am particularly good at crafting. Especially scrapbooking and cross-stitch.
3. I am mixed. My dad is black and my mom is white. I'm very proud of both sides of myself.
4. My favorite food is either the cheesesteak or the hoagie. Not the sub, not the grinder, the hoagie. Totally different experience.
5. I have a number of pen pals I write snail mail to. We exchange stickers and little gifts sometimes, too. I have an extensive sticker collection.
6. I just reconnected with my father after 15+ years. It's going great so far. I've missed him.
7. My brother is my best friend, hence the reason we do this together.
8. I don't have a favorite book. I like too many to have a favorite. But Paul Zindel is my favorite author. Stephen King and Jane Austen are close seconds. I know, eclectic.
9. I'm not very religious at all. I consider myself agnostic.
10. I would say that my most prized possessions are my dogs, but I don't consider them possessions. I consider them people. They are my people.
