Why watch this film?
The Argentine director Sebastián Schindel (responsible for the award-winning 'The Boss: Radiography of a Crime') and with a cast of first-line Argentine actors (Joaquín Furriel and Martina Gusman), 'El Hijo' is a peculiar thriller that reminds us of 'Rosemary's Baby'. The film makes a powerful reflection on the fears of parenthood, under an intriguing gothic setting, and a descent into madness in which the real and the imaginary cross.

The Crimes That Bind
Argentine thriller, 'Crímenes de familia' is an exclusive Netflix production starring Cecilia Roth - famous Argentine actress who became world-renowned for her incredible performance in 'Todo Sobre Mi Madre'. The movie tackles very current topics such as corruption, class differences, drug abuse, violence against women and also the union between them. There was no better actress to face the strong female protagonism of the story. Roth is in a strong and highly representative role. The story is very well built, leaving a suspenseful atmosphere from start to finish.
The Wrath of God
Argentine thriller very complete, which combines drama, mystery and suspense in a good plot. The story revolves around a young woman immersed who finds herself in the middle of a cycle of deaths involving her relatives and she begins to suspect that her former employer may be involved. Much more than a narrative about crime, it is about mourning and how those left behind suffer. The question that permeates throughout the production is: is this an orchestrated tragedy or just an unfortunate fate? 'La Ira de Dios' is dark - daring - and a great recommendation of psychological thriller.
Thriller
Motel Destino

Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey 2
Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey 2 is the unlikely sequel to the feature film that placed the characters of this playful and childlike universe into a world of violence and horror. However, don't expect a production as weak as the previous film: with the success of the first installment at the box office, the production had more money to invest, and thus Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey 2 manages to be more realistic, violent, and impressive compared to the first film. The characters' masks are much scarier, and it ceases to be a complete joke. It's still difficult to take the film entirely seriously, especially with this bizarre premise of Pooh and his friends seeking bloody revenge, but you can already feel more fear and, above all, immerse yourself in the wave of violence that the film promotes. To have fun with friends.
