Why watch this film?
A surprising mix made in Mexico of escape room and horror thriller genres, similar to Saw: juego macabro. In Death's Roulette, we follow a group of seven strangers who awaken trapped in an unknown house. To escape, they have to make an impossible decision: one of them must die, somebody has to agree to it and cannot offer themselves. With time running out to save their lives, the group soon discovers that a dark secret from the past binds them together. Even if it doesn't reinvent the wheel and is a bit predictable, there are interesting twists in the narrative, highlighted by a great cast including names like Maribel Verdú, Adriana Paz and Fernando Becerril. A solid directorial debut for Colombian actor Manolo Cardona, best known for roles in productions such as Narcos and Rubirosa.

Thriller
Fanny Lye Deliver'd
An intense period drama with few resources but a lot of power behind its performances. Set in 1657, Fanny Lye Deliver'd follows a woman (Maxine Peake, from Black Mirror and The Theory of Everything) living in a repressed Puritan marriage. But the arrival of a young couple pursued by a ruthless Sheriff (Charles Dance, from Game of Thrones) changes her life forever and opens up new pathways of possibilities, albeit at a great personal cost. This is a unique production that blends drama and some terror with big ideas about religion and female repression, with plenty of intrigue and flashes of stunning violence that won't leave you indifferent.
La extorsión
A solid Argentine genre film proposal. La extorsión follows a commercial pilot who holds some secrets, which intelligence services start to use against him to extort him and force him to smuggle a suitcase from Argentina to Spain. Naturally, the tension starts to get to him and things get out of hand, in an intense plot with some logic flaws. However, the lead performance by Guillermo Francella (El clan) is, as always, impeccable. If you enjoy thrillers, you're sure to love it.
