It only had a limited theatrical release in the U.S., but I went to see it twice in theaters &#8211; and noticed new details each time.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8575a31 elementor-widget elementor-widget-video\" data-id=\"8575a31\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;youtube_url&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.youtube.com\\\/watch?v=emZZexEJO8c&quot;,&quot;video_type&quot;:&quot;youtube&quot;,&quot;controls&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"video.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-wrapper elementor-open-inline\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-video\"><\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c8794b1 elementor-widget-divider--separator-type-pattern elementor-widget-divider--no-spacing elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"c8794b1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\" style=\"--divider-pattern-url: url(&quot;data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg xmlns=&#039;http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg&#039; preserveAspectRatio=&#039;xMidYMid meet&#039; overflow=&#039;visible&#039; height=&#039;100%&#039; viewBox=&#039;0 0 126 26&#039; fill=&#039;black&#039; stroke=&#039;none&#039;%3E%3Cpath d=&#039;M10.7,6l2.5,2.6l-4,4.3l4,5.4l-2.5,1.9l-4.5-5.2l-3.9,4.2L0.7,17L4,13.1L0,8.6l2.3-1.3l3.9,3.9L10.7,6z M23.9,6.6l4.2,4.5L32,7.2l2.3,1.3l-4,4.5l3.2,3.9L32,19.1l-3.9-3.3l-4.5,4.3l-2.5-1.9l4.4-5.1l-4.2-3.9L23.9,6.6zM73.5,6L76,8.6l-4,4.3l4,5.4l-2.5,1.9l-4.5-5.2l-3.9,4.2L63.5,17l4.1-4.7L63.5,8l2.3-1.3l4.1,3.6L73.5,6z M94,6l2.5,2.6l-4,4.3l4,5.4L94,20.1l-3.9-5l-3.9,4.2L84,17l3.2-3.9L84,8.6l2.3-1.3l3.2,3.9L94,6z M106.9,6l4.5,5.1l3.9-3.9l2.3,1.3l-4,4.5l3.2,3.9l-1.6,2.1l-3.9-4.2l-4.5,5.2l-2.5-1.9l4-5.4l-4-4.3L106.9,6z M53.1,6l2.5,2.6l-4,4.3l4,4.6l-2.5,1.9l-4.5-4.5l-3.5,4.5L43.1,17l3.2-3.9l-4-4.5l2.3-1.3l3.9,3.9L53.1,6z&#039;\/%3E%3C\/svg%3E&quot;);\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-070ddeb elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"070ddeb\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">LIke \"Smile\" ?<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-031e821 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"031e821\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Try \"From Within\"<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6422a1a elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"6422a1a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Supernatural suicide curses your thing?

There are no happy endings here. From a brutal opening sequence showing children affected by the horror of war to the fate of our main characters, this is a hard film to watch &#8211; but it is well done. I certainly have to applaud that the filmmakers had the nerve to finally have a main character actually fight back against killer kids. It makes his last stand especially heart-wrenching.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-23fc0e0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-video\" data-id=\"23fc0e0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;youtube_url&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.youtube.com\\\/watch?v=NoKr3DbGBpo&quot;,&quot;video_type&quot;:&quot;youtube&quot;,&quot;controls&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"video.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-wrapper elementor-open-inline\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-video\"><\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5e6ba52 elementor-widget-divider--separator-type-pattern elementor-widget-divider--no-spacing elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"5e6ba52\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\" style=\"--divider-pattern-url: url(&quot;data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg xmlns=&#039;http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg&#039; preserveAspectRatio=&#039;xMidYMid meet&#039; overflow=&#039;visible&#039; height=&#039;100%&#039; viewBox=&#039;0 0 126 26&#039; fill=&#039;black&#039; stroke=&#039;none&#039;%3E%3Cpath d=&#039;M10.7,6l2.5,2.6l-4,4.3l4,5.4l-2.5,1.9l-4.5-5.2l-3.9,4.2L0.7,17L4,13.1L0,8.6l2.3-1.3l3.9,3.9L10.7,6z M23.9,6.6l4.2,4.5L32,7.2l2.3,1.3l-4,4.5l3.2,3.9L32,19.1l-3.9-3.3l-4.5,4.3l-2.5-1.9l4.4-5.1l-4.2-3.9L23.9,6.6zM73.5,6L76,8.6l-4,4.3l4,5.4l-2.5,1.9l-4.5-5.2l-3.9,4.2L63.5,17l4.1-4.7L63.5,8l2.3-1.3l4.1,3.6L73.5,6z M94,6l2.5,2.6l-4,4.3l4,5.4L94,20.1l-3.9-5l-3.9,4.2L84,17l3.2-3.9L84,8.6l2.3-1.3l3.2,3.9L94,6z M106.9,6l4.5,5.1l3.9-3.9l2.3,1.3l-4,4.5l3.2,3.9l-1.6,2.1l-3.9-4.2l-4.5,5.2l-2.5-1.9l4-5.4l-4-4.3L106.9,6z M53.1,6l2.5,2.6l-4,4.3l4,4.6l-2.5,1.9l-4.5-4.5l-3.5,4.5L43.1,17l3.2-3.9l-4-4.5l2.3-1.3l3.9,3.9L53.1,6z&#039;\/%3E%3C\/svg%3E&quot;);\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-12e5939 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"12e5939\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Like \"Pan's Labyrinth\" ?<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f4175d2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"f4175d2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Try \"Tigers are Not Afraid\"<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3141755 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"3141755\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>A strong little girl protagonist in a fantastic and dark situation describes <a href=\"https:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt0457430\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>Pan&#8217;s Labyrinth<\/em><\/a> (2006), and it also describes <a href=\"https:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt4823434\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em><strong>Tigers are Not Afraid<\/strong><\/em><\/a> (2017).<\/p><p>The Plot: We are in a Mexican city turned into a ghost town by the drug-war. Estrella is 11, and when her mother vanishes, she makes a wish: she wants her mother to come back. And mom does return&#8230;from the dead. Terrified, Estrella escapes and joins a rag-tag gang of other children orphaned by the violence, all escaping their own past. But she learns that in a city ruled by death, you can&#8217;t simply leave the ghosts behind. They walk with you wherever you go. This dark fairy tale centers on children trying to survive the horrific violence of cartels and the ghosts created every day by the drug war.<\/p><p>This film won awards for Best Picture, Best Director (Issa L\u00f3pez), Best Actor (Juan Ram\u00f3n L\u00f3pez), Best Actress (Paola Lara), and Best Editing (Joaquim Marti) at Screamfest Horror Film Festival 2017. There are moments of childhood innocence that will make you laugh, and heart-wrenching violence that will make you sob. Inspired by the very real violence that children face in areas controlled by drug cartels, this is a moving film, with many fantastic and creepy elements.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-703d320 elementor-widget elementor-widget-video\" data-id=\"703d320\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;youtube_url&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.youtube.com\\\/watch?v=KyoE0mSJXO8&quot;,&quot;video_type&quot;:&quot;youtube&quot;,&quot;controls&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"video.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-wrapper elementor-open-inline\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-video\"><\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-00b2bfc elementor-widget-divider--separator-type-pattern elementor-widget-divider--no-spacing elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"00b2bfc\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\" style=\"--divider-pattern-url: url(&quot;data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg xmlns=&#039;http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg&#039; preserveAspectRatio=&#039;xMidYMid meet&#039; overflow=&#039;visible&#039; height=&#039;100%&#039; viewBox=&#039;0 0 126 26&#039; fill=&#039;black&#039; stroke=&#039;none&#039;%3E%3Cpath d=&#039;M10.7,6l2.5,2.6l-4,4.3l4,5.4l-2.5,1.9l-4.5-5.2l-3.9,4.2L0.7,17L4,13.1L0,8.6l2.3-1.3l3.9,3.9L10.7,6z M23.9,6.6l4.2,4.5L32,7.2l2.3,1.3l-4,4.5l3.2,3.9L32,19.1l-3.9-3.3l-4.5,4.3l-2.5-1.9l4.4-5.1l-4.2-3.9L23.9,6.6zM73.5,6L76,8.6l-4,4.3l4,5.4l-2.5,1.9l-4.5-5.2l-3.9,4.2L63.5,17l4.1-4.7L63.5,8l2.3-1.3l4.1,3.6L73.5,6z M94,6l2.5,2.6l-4,4.3l4,5.4L94,20.1l-3.9-5l-3.9,4.2L84,17l3.2-3.9L84,8.6l2.3-1.3l3.2,3.9L94,6z M106.9,6l4.5,5.1l3.9-3.9l2.3,1.3l-4,4.5l3.2,3.9l-1.6,2.1l-3.9-4.2l-4.5,5.2l-2.5-1.9l4-5.4l-4-4.3L106.9,6z M53.1,6l2.5,2.6l-4,4.3l4,4.6l-2.5,1.9l-4.5-4.5l-3.5,4.5L43.1,17l3.2-3.9l-4-4.5l2.3-1.3l3.9,3.9L53.1,6z&#039;\/%3E%3C\/svg%3E&quot;);\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3bcb5bf elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"3bcb5bf\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Like \"Dark Water\" ?<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1af5dac elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"1af5dac\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Try \"The House at the End of Time\"<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-94befed elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"94befed\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>If you liked the themes of motherly love and the unsettling ghost story of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt0308379\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>Dark Water<\/em><\/a> (2002), try watching <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt2640474\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>The House at the End of Time<\/em><\/a><\/strong> (2013).\u00a0<\/p><p>The Plot: After being wrongly imprisoned for the mysterious, supernatural death of her husband and son, Dulce returns back to her old home.
