El exorcismo de Carmen Farías (2021)
Trailer
Why watch this film?
After 'The Exorcist', there are only a few movies that really scared people when it comes to the topic -- 'The Exorcism of Emily Rose' might be the most emblematic case. 'El exorcismo de Carmen Farías', unfortunately, sails in already explored waters when telling the story of a journalist (the aforementioned Carmen, played by Camila Sodi) who moves into the house she inherited from her grandmother. From there, director Rodrigo Fiallega ('Ricochet') bets on plots and stories already addressed in other films. If you want to see something original and captivating, it's best to leave 'El exorcismo de Carmen Farías' aside. However, if you're looking for an exorcism horror movie like many others already made, just to pass the time without commitment and get a few scares with the possession, this Mexican feature film might be a good choice.

Skinamarink
Two children wake up in the middle of the night to find their father is missing, and all the windows and doors in their home have vanished. To cope with the strange situation, the two bring pillows and blankets to the living room and settle into a quiet slumber party. They play well worn videotapes of cartoons to fill the silence of the house and distract from the frightening and inexplicable situation. All the while in the hopes that eventually some grown-ups will come to rescue them. However, after a while it becomes clear that something is watching over them.
Medusa
By day, Mari and her friends broadcast their spiritual devotion through pastel pinks and catchy evangelical songs about purity and perfection, and by night they form a vigilante girl gang, prowling the streets in search of sinners who have deviated from the rightful path.
