Why watch this film?
"Human Animals" is a Mexican horror/suspense movie directed by Lex Ortega, known for the violent "Atroz" from 2015. It tells the story of a couple and their daughter who suffer because of their neighbors' dog, which ends up biting the daughter. The dog is handed over to the authorities to be sacrificed, leaving its owners devastated as they considered it a child. Thus, the dog's owners decide to take revenge on the family in a terrible way. This is a production made especially for the niche of horror fans who like gore and shocking movies, such as "Saw" or "The Human Centipede", among others. If you are interested in this type of movie, it is a great choice, since the director knows what he is doing and delivers a feast for the fans.

Barbarous Mexico
"Mexico Barbaro" is an anthology of eight horror short films, each created by promising Mexican directors within the genre, including Jorge Michel Grau ("We Are What We Are"), Isaac Ezban ("The Incident"), Edgar Nito ("And I Will Return...") and Gigi Saul Guerrero. As with any anthology, some installments are better than others, but for fans of truly violent horror looking for something inspired by Mexico's rich oral tradition, "Mexico Barbaro" can be a very original delight.
Horror
Abigail
Abigail demonstrates why we should keep an eye on the director duo Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett, especially when they have original material at their disposal (they also directed Scream 5 and 6, with mixed results). Abigail is a film that manages to balance the terror and tragedy of its characters with the absurdity of its premise, thanks to a clever script that plays with the conventions of vampire literature, careful direction, and a phenomenal cast (led by Mexican actress Melissa Barrera and Dan Stevens) that fully utilizes their roles. The plot follows a group of kidnappers tasked with a delicate job: to kidnap a millionaire's daughter for ransom. However, it all turns out to be a trap: beneath the guise of a 12-year-old girl, the victim is actually an ancient vampire who likes to play with her food. Like Ready or Not in its time, this film is self-aware, pushing its story and violence to the most absurd and fun limits without falling into self-parody. It won’t change the history of horror cinema, but it’s an excellent (and even stylish for a film of its genre, I dare say) choice for a fun time at the movies with friends.

The Jack in the Box Rises
When Raven is sent to an all-girls boarding school, she unleashes a demon from a mysterious vintage jack-in-the-box hidden on the school grounds. Will the students make it out alive, or will the demon claim the victims it requires to remain alive?
Nudus
From director Gibrán Bazán, pupil of legendary cult filmmaker Juan López Moctezuma (Alucarda), NUDUS is a science fiction thriller that, with few resources, aspires to create the worst conceivable dystopia of our digital age: a world in which everyone's data is accessible to everyone, and for any purpose, after a major global hack. The plot follows a woman (Carla Hernández) who, upon waking up from a prolonged coma, is confronted by a stranger (Álex Crusa) who seems to know everything about her: everything she has written on WhatsApp and Facebook, all the videos she has sent to her contacts, all the humiliating information she has said in private. From this moment on, NUDUS seems more concerned with the mystery of its characters than with the greater background of their situation, so it becomes more about the exploitation of its female protagonist than a reflection on technology and data privacy. However, despite the plot going off the rails, the situation lends itself to exemplifying a catastrophic scenario of these breaches in privacy.
