Incredible performances from all the actors and actresses, which is especially impressive considering how young many of them were. This movie blends horror, fantasy, and realistic fiction near perfectly in my opinion. This movie is sad, exciting, at times funny, triumphant, and all-around beautiful. This film is also very metaphorical, and it does it very well. The cinematography is great too. This movie was paced amazingly, and I loved the characters. This is one of my favorite films of all time, and it deserves much more attention. Amazing story, amazing movie. 5/5 from me.
Amazing performances from the child performers. One of the more poignant f
Amazing Film, great cast, and outstanding story! A Must watch!
A great movie, no matter what genre you want to put it in. Reminds me of the movie "Ghost" with Patrick Swayze from the 1980s, except with a lot of very good child actors.
Fantastic film by Issa Lopez that portrays tragic realities painfully well. For those saying this isn't horror ... horror is more than Texas Chainsaw Massacre or a Fulci Zombie movie. Horror comes in many forms and this film displays various multilayers of horror, real life horrors, beautifully.
