Why watch this film?
One of the most recent examples of killer shark movies, The Black Demon does not shine for its originality: there are humans who get into places they should not, and a voracious shark ready to destroy and devour them. However, despite an irregular direction, this movie stands out for one distinction: it is also a metaphor for human voracity, which has led us to destroy the planet's ecosystems. Who is the "black demon" here?

Rambo: Last Blood
After the events of the fourth movie in the franchise, John Rambo lives a relatively happy life on his father's ranch in Arizona and raises a young girl, Gabriela, as if she were his own daughter. But the teenager decides to run away and go to Mexico in search of her biological father, which puts her in the hands of an international group of traffickers of women. From there, 'Rambo: Last Blood' brings a desperate search for the foster father, in a script that flirts with the drama of the first feature film of the franchise (the excellent 'Rambo: First Blood') and, in its last act, delivers the blood and brutality that marked 'Rambo 4'. The final result is hard, raw and impactful, either by violence against women or by the cruelty of the protagonist's revenge. Uneven, with better moments than others, the fifth movie in the franchise will certainly satisfy the fans' desire - even if it leaves a bitter taste when revealing the cruelty of the real world.
Horror
Abigail
A group of would-be criminals kidnaps the 12-year-old daughter of a powerful underworld figure. Holding her for ransom in an isolated mansion, their plan starts to unravel when they discover their young captive is actually a bloodthirsty vampire.
28 Days Later
Twenty-eight days after a killer virus was accidentally unleashed from a British research facility, a small group of London survivors are caught in a desperate struggle to protect themselves from the infected. Carried by animals and humans, the virus turns those it infects into homicidal maniacs – and it’s absolutely impossible to contain.
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.
