Why watch this film?
Spanish genre cinema gained strength in the second half of the 2010s and early 2020s, mainly with suspense productions that play with the notion of narrative and viewer time. And one of the main faces of this movement is Mario Casas. From 'Bitter Remedy', the actor can show his dramatic talent even more in the movie 'No Matarás', from 'La Culpa' and 'Zero'. Here, Casas is a man of good nature who, unexpectedly, has to put his instincts into play to hide the traces of a crime committed in self-defense. With a good narrative, a twist that should hold the audience and Casas's top performance, the film serves not only as entertainment, but also as an example of how it is possible to find space in genre cinema in other countries, exercising creativity. Winner of the Goya for Best Actor by Casas.

The Pact
Within supernatural horror, 'El Pacto' offers nothing too original in terms of plot. However, its story about a desperate mother trying to save her daughter gives it an emotional plot. Another positive aspect is the creepy atmosphere that the movie achieves, thanks to sound and disturbing images, but don't expect a memorable or unforgettable feature film.
Thriller
Out of Darkness
The stunning feature film debut of director Andrew Cumming is what happens when you take the horror and survival thriller to its most basic elements, in more ways than one. Out of Darkness is set in the Stone Age, 45 thousand years in the past, and follows a small group of people looking to build a new home in a desolate landscape. However, as darkness falls, they realize they are not alone, and that an evil lurking in the shadows seeks to consume them. The film's great achievement is to create an atmosphere that connects us to our most primal and natural fear: the fear of dying at any moment, due to human fragility in the face of the world's dangers. Darkness and uncertainty are the big monsters here, something few horror films manage to convey effectively.
Boy Kills World
In Boy Kills World, Bill Skarsgård (IT) plays another somewhat disturbed protagonist. Here, he swears revenge after his family is murdered by Hilda Van Der Koy (Famke Janssen), the disturbed matriarch who left the boy orphaned, deaf, and voiceless. With shades of John Wick, the young man seeks to become an instrument of death and promises to cause bloody chaos, ideal for those who enjoy a movie with few scruples and visually appealing aesthetics. It doesn't bring much new to the genre, but it's at least entertaining.
Motel Destino
Dayana lives an abusive marriage with former police officer Elias, owner of Motel Destino. When 21-year-old Heraldo finds himself at the motel after messing up a hit and going on the run, Dayana finds herself intrigued and lets him stay. As the two navigate a dance of power, desire and liberation, a dangerous plan for freedom emerges.
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.
