| User ReviewMichael JIncredible directing, DP, acting....A differnt kind of horror that will keep you on the edge of your seat.... |
| User ReviewMauricio OIt is so good to see that the Colombian film industry is not only about drugs or stupid comedies but suspense/terror is also a possibility. The location is perfect for the story, and although the idiosyncrasy is present in al the characters the plot is very well developed without being affected by the cliches. |
| User ReviewMatthew LA strong psychological South American horror/thriller. It starts similar to many other military based horrors, the military loose contact with a remote base so send in a team to investigate before all hell breaks loose. Unlike similar films this relies more upon the breakdown in command and the squads on paranoia than anything overtly supernatural. The film has a wonderful washed out and minimalist look relying upon the fog shrouded environment to create unease. Well worth checking out. |
| User ReviewPablo GAbsolutely wonderful Colombian slow-burn horror! If you like your hotror films with actual tension and story rather than "BOO!" moments, this is a must see. |
| User Reviewjuan esteban oan elegant, exciting and intriguing thriller. |
| User ReviewLeonardo - Malacay - SInteresante ejercicio pero con una cámara que se mueve más que si estuviera sobre un colchón de agua, cuando deciden dejarla "quieta2 logran unos planos maravillosos. La historia me gusta pero creo que la enfocaron mal, se fueron para el lado de la critica social y olvidaron el causante del miedo inicial que era lo que realmente atraía al publico. |
| User ReviewSergio RBegins with promising suspense and a original sense of horror, but later it let down into political commentary and the incompetence from the director to create chills without physical sounds, but El Paramo is barely enterteining if diverted of what could be, and explores the dementia of war with a (practically non-existent) supernatural setting. Sometimes creepy and visceral and other confusing and boring. |
| User ReviewBoris MRealmente me gusto la propuesta del director en cuanto a historia ya que se va un poco mas alla a lo que se venia haciendo en Colombia pero la pelicula se queda un poco a medias y muchas veces recurre a mecanismos ya visto en este tipo de peliculas que la hacen ver no tan original como parece, aun asi un muy buen esfuerzo por parte del nuevo talento colombiano para hacer cambiar nuestro cine. |
| User ReviewTodd GThis movie attempts taut fear-driven paranoia through, but over-extends. Ultimately the audience agrees with the one man that says "there is nothing out there!" Recovering a high mountain outpost that lost contact days ago, the squad of Columbian soldiers encounter a prisoner that might be a witch or just a guerrilla. After she escapes the fog-bound peak becomes a site of paranoia, power-games and retribution for past grievances. However, the lack of a true external threat is overplayed and the audience gets board watching the solders run around in circles, unable to work together in any manner. The sound design and photography are very effective, even if the script underplays the pre-existing tensions that might have made this drama more thrilling. |
| User ReviewRichard CEs más una pelÃcula sicologica que thriller de miedo.... un poco desconcertante |
