Why watch this film?
A couple in a troubled marriage locate a meteorite, initiating an encounter with a mysterious creature. Their lives are turned upside down by the discovery of the creature, which is a source of both pleasure and destruction.
"Staying true to Amat Escalante's usual style, 'La región salvaje' is a movie that shows a lot of violence and taboos in the Mexican context of deep-rooted values where homosexuality - and sex in general - have little place. This award-winning film makes an excellent and subtle use of digital effects to create a creature worthy of the worst nightmares."
