With a chilling plot and historical setting, Max’s new film redefines Argentine terror with a bold and disturbing proposal.
The premiere of a new Max movie shakes the Argentine cinema panorama with a proposal that mixes the historical with the supernatural. This time, fiction puts the focus on one of the crudest stages in Argentina, but from the genre of terror.
Far from offering a traditional story, the platform added a title that transforms the past into a story sinister and catchy. The film plays with collective fear and memory, generating a climate as uncomfortable as addictive.
