This lauded well-made low-budget Argentinian horror/thriller finds two brothers living in a remote village who discover a disintegrating man possessed by a demon about to birth evil into the world, and attempting to dispose of him unleashes the spirit on the local community. The fil plays out in a grounded rural setting and benefits enormously from this and by very ordinary characters thrust into extraordinary circumstances and situations and contending with irrational and extreme behaviour. It delivers half-a-dozen shocking and unexpected moments which are staged extremely well, with consistently strong and committed performances from Ezequiel Rodriguez and Demian Salomon as the two brothers. The first half has more energy than the more talky second half, but overall the film delivers well and is an interesting take on the concept for fans of the genre.
