Written by Jon Croker and Fernanda Coppel. Based on a novel by Adam Nevill.

Directed by Santiago Menghini.

Plot: A desperate immigrant moves into a boarding house and soon after, begins to see and hear strange things.

Ambar, played by Cristina Rodlo, is trying to get papers, but needs money to get them, so she lands a terrible job and finds a boarding house that doesn’t worry about I.D. and such. She gives a substantial amount of money to a friend who promises to hook her up with an ID and stuff, but her friend ghosts her. I was rooting for her the whole time and wanted to smack just about everyone else.

I found this movie interesting. I think it had some things to say. It is well acted and has some good effects. The premise is original, the story is realistic. I dig the innovation. The ending is a bit open which Tara didn’t love. She wanted something more final, and wasn’t crazy about the story. I would have liked a more concrete ending, but I choose to believe she made a certain decision and I am happy with that.

I definitely recommend a viewing and gave it a 69. Tara thought it was pretty average and scored it a 47.

10 Things That Make Me DJVoorhees. 1. My favorite food is pepperoni pizza. From the East Coast of course. 2. My most prized possession is a replica of the Hellraiser puzzle box. My sister haggled the price for me, but she still doesn't like touching the thing. 3. Controversial Food Opinion Time! For one, fish is meat. It was once alive. Now it's food. Fish is meat. For another thing, a lot of fish can be paired with different kinds of cheese and be quite delicious. Gordon Ramsey and many other chefs are wrong. Yeah, I said it. 4. A lot of movies make me tear up. I'm not too proud to admit that. Even horror gets me when done well. Train to Busan, for instance, hit me so hard, I think I cried during the whole end credits. 5. My dream house would be all one story, have a huge back yard for our 2 dogs, a huge catio for our 2 cats (complete with tunnels, trees, and a cat door so they can run in and out whenever), several industrial-sized airconditioning systems, a solar array, a panic system, a library, a game room, a movie theater, 3 different kitchens, an indoor swimming pool, 2 koi ponds and a giant wall surrounding the whole damn thing. 6. If I could have superhero type powers, I'd want to make anyting I can imagine, a reality. Organic or inorganic. A living thing or a sandwich. If I see a Burger King commercial, I want to be able to think a Whopper into being right in front of me. 7. I'm enjoying a lot of interesting music lately. From classic rock to modern singer-songwriters. Some of my favorites are Jasmine Thompson, Norah Jones, Chris Stapleton and the great James Taylor. 8. I watched wrestling for over a decade from the 90's into the 2000's. Recently, with the introduction of the Bloodline faction and the return of The Rock, I started watching it again. I'm really liking it, too. Some of my favorites are Roman Reigns, Jey Uso, Rhea Ripley and Sami Zayn. 9. Creepy, sickly, old women scare me. Think "Zelda" from Pet Sematary, "Mrs. Kersh" from IT, and "The Countess" from Black Sabbath. 10. My first pet ever was a bunny named Buffy. Yes, after the vampire slayer. The movie slayer though, not the show one. Do not like the show.
