Terrified

there is no english version of the movie so its a no for me 🤐🤐😵

Terrified (2017) is an Argentinean horror movie I recently watched on Shudder after seeing a couple posts about it on here. The storyline focuses on some detectives who investigate some strange occurances at some houses virtually across the street from each other - first a murder than a corpse of a little boy that's sitting at the table of a family who buried him four days ago. Just as police feel comfortable they've got all the details on the occurances things really get exciting. This movie is directed by Damian Rugna (You Dont Know who You're Talking To) and was made with a fairly limited budget ($367,000). The acting, special effects, cinematography, intensity and gore in this is outstanding. Absolutely phenomenal. There were about 5 scenes that I don't think any director and special effects teams could have done better than how it was portrayed in this film - the opening bathroom scene, the video of the creature crawling out from under the bed (so creepy), the boy's corpse at the table, the police finding the creature under the bed and the hole in the wall scene. All remarkable. I absolutely adored this movie and wish I had jumped on it sooner. This is a horror masterpiece I'd strongly recommend and score it a solid 9/10. I hope they make a sequel by the same team.

Amazing. very good acting and scary most of the time.... super recommended!!!

Not sure what all the hype is about. While there are certainly some substantial visual scares, the plot is largely non-existent. The pace is agonizingly slow. I fell asleep 3 times while streaming, and had to keep going back. Also - most of the characters don't seem to react in any way remotely "natural" when confronted with supernatural goings on: Dead kid at the breakfast table? No worries, we'll just go outside and calmly chat about it - leaving the unconscious mother lying on the couch in the next room. Weirdly distorted and bloody things chasing you around? Just drive a block or two away, and have a smoke. Spooky beings under your bed and/or walking around your bedroom? Just climb back and pull the covers over your head! Nevermind the *gun* you have in the next room - don't get that out until it's too late! I could go on. One of the biggest complaints regarding any horror film dealing with supernatural events is that characters aren't reacting logically. Sometimes that can be excused by the events of the movie, but not so in this film. Anyway - this is hardly the cinematic event some reviews are making it out to be. I'd pass on it, tbh. You're not going to miss anything.
