The premise
Valeria's joy at becoming a first-time mother is quickly taken away when she's cursed by a sinister entity. As danger closes in, she's forced deeper into a chilling world of dark magic that threatens to consume her.
Horror Vault's take
When Valeria finally achieves her dream of pregnancy, an ancient and malevolent presence latches onto her, transforming the miracle of new life into a waking nightmare. Rooted in Latin American folklore, the film follows her terrifying descent as a supernatural curse tightens its grip and the line between the world she knows and something far darker begins to dissolve. Director Michelle Garza Cervera crafts a deeply personal horror story that uses the dread of impending motherhood as fertile ground for genuine psychological and folkloric terror. This is body and soul horror at its most intimate.
