REVIEWS:

A bold, brutal, genre-bending feature that mixes political thriller, demonic horror, and real-world trauma. Easily one of the most unforgettable entries in the festival.

That intro hit hard — the World Cup, the dictatorship, the propaganda. But then it twists into horror, and I realized: this isn’t fiction. This is trauma wrapped in supernatural revenge.

I expected a drama about the dictatorship. I did NOT expect demonic cults, monstrous rebirths, and biblical vengeance. That twist halfway through BLEW my mind."

Live Screenings Attendee

This reminded me of The Devils and Martyrs — horror with political rage. It’s not easy to watch, but it shouldn’t be. Torturers becoming the tortured? That’s poetic justice.

Live Screenings Attendee

The scenes of torture were hard to sit through. But when the tables turned… I almost cried. Not from fear — from catharsis. I needed that revenge as much as the characters did.
