Why watch the movie A Fisherman's Tale?
"A Fisherman's Tale is a Mexican horror film that, based on the folk legend of the Miringua, takes Mexican genre cinema to less explored territory: folk horror. It doesn't follow a single plot but rather consists of an anthology of interconnected stories around the titular folklore character, exploring themes like obsession and the darkness of human nature. Directed by Edgar Nito (The Gasoline Thieves), the film has some ups and downs in pacing and development but boasts great merits such as its makeup, soundtrack, an oppressive atmosphere, and, for once, stories told outside Mexico City. If you enjoy Mexican horror, folk horror, or both, it's a must-watch."
