This film is an english remake of the 2010 Mexican film with the same title. After the unexpected death of their mother, Iris and Rose Parker must perform the grisly annual family tradition that their father enforces.
This film was directed by Jim Mickie. The story for this film has a lot of slow moving build-up, but makes up for it with its sinister conclusion. Its told from the perspective of two teenage girls rebelling against their father's insane religious and family practices. Un-expectantly, audiences can easily relate to the various characters and their dilemma's (even if they deny being able to do so). There isn't much gore in this film, nor is there much nudity. However, this film finds a silent method to being morbid. Its use of subconscious horror makes up for the lack of straight out scares. They have announced a sequel and a prequel to this film already; which is surprising because it felt pretty finished as is. Ambyr Childers played the role of Iris Parker. She was great at showing the hidden emotions within the character. Julia Garner played the role of Rose Parker. She was a great supporting actress for Childers, and good at driving the stories depths. Bill Sage played the role of Frank Parker. He gave an amazing performance that could easily be feared and respected.
I give this film 5 out of 5 stars! It is a good horror film that doesn't rely on gore or jump scares.
This film can be seen on Netflix's Instant Que.
