Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The film weaponizes 'poverty tourism' horror popularized by American found footage, but roots it in Mexico's specific urban-rural class tensions. The beast mythology draws from Nahual shapeshifter traditions rarely depicted in mainstream horror.
Dario Yazbek Bernal (Pipo) is Gael García Bernal's half-brother—nepotism done right, apparently, because his unraveling is genuinely hard to watch.
