Trailer
Why watch this film?
Part supernatural mystery, part drama and part thriller, 'Silence' is Mexican director Lorena Villarreal's (‘Las lloronas’) second feature film. The movie blends a family tragedy with science fiction time paradoxes to tell a melancholic story about second chances, mixed with a pursuit and extortion plot. It's an interesting mix that may not always work, but stands out for its originality, especially considering it's a Mexico-U.S. co-production. The international cast includes actors of the likes of Australian John Noble (‘Fringe’, ‘The Lord of the Rings’), Spanish Melina Matthews (‘Negotiator’), Mexican Hoze Meléndez (‘Sueño en otro idioma’), and British Rupert Graves (‘Sherlock’).

Las Lloronas
The legend of 'La Llorona' is one of the most popular in Mexican folklore, so it's not unusual for its adaptations or re-inventions to appear both in Mexican and international cinema (1933's 'La Llorona' by Ramón Peón is often cited as the beginning of Mexican horror films). For her debut as a director, screenwriter and producer, Mexican filmmaker Lorena Villarreal transported the famous legend to a contemporary context with a cast that combined rising stars such as Miguel Rodarte and Francisco Gattorno, established names like Rosa María Bianchi ('Amores perros'), and even cult favorites like Tina Romero (the protagonist of 'Alucarda, la hija de las tinieblas').In terms of visual effects, the film is a product of Mexican cinematography of its time. Even if its script has some problems (and which also erratically oscillates between horror, drama and thriller), something very noteworthy about 'Las lloronas' is that it can be read as a metaphor of the problems faced by women in contemporary Mexico.
Thriller
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.
