The premise
A Mexican-American couple expecting their first child relocate to a migrant farming community in 1970's California. When the wife begins to experience strange symptoms and terrifying visions, she tries to determine if it's related to a legendary curse or something more nefarious.
Horror Vault's take
Set against the sun-baked fields of 1970s rural California, Madres follows a pregnant Mexican-American woman whose excitement about starting a family curdles into dread after her family settles in an isolated migrant farming community. Disturbing visions and unexplained physical symptoms push her to dig into local legend and the community's dark history. The film layers cultural folklore with something grimly real, keeping the threat ambiguous and unnerving throughout.
