4/5
The Baltimorons (2025) Sebastian Zavala Kahn A delightful romantic comedy filled with funny moments, believable problems, and often witty dialogue. It doesn't reach the heights of some other recent Christmas productions, but that doesn't mean it's not worth a watch. [Full review in Spanish].

V/H/S Halloween (2025) Sebastian Zavala Kahn It delivers three outstanding short films, one that could have been better, and thankfully, only one that didn't convince me at all. A pretty decent result, really. [Full review in Spanish].

Dracula (1931) Sebastian Zavala Kahn Although the 'Dracula' movie hasn't stood the test of time very well, Dracula the character, played by the great Bela Lugosi, will remain etched in the minds of moviegoers for all eternity. [Full Review In Spanish].

The Villagers (2018) Sebastian Zavala Kahn The Villagers isn't the best Don Lee film I've seen, nor is it a great representation of his charisma or physical talents, but fans will still enjoy this modestly ambitious film. [Full review in Spanish].

The Music We Call Country (undefined) Sebastian Zavala Kahn Between the beautifully recorded interviews, the telling of a story that spans decades, and the emphasis on specific musicians and producers, the film helped me learn a great deal about a subject I had always been ignorant about. [Full review in Spanish].

Just Breathe (2025) Sebastian Zavala Kahn The production has made excellent use of its limited resources to develop an experience that never feels cheap. And of course, it helps that Kylne Gallner gives it his all to fully develop protagonist Nick. [Full review in Spanish].

Hola Frida (2024) Sebastian Zavala Kahn 'Hola Frida' ends up feeling like a heartfelt tribute to the famous Mexican artist, but also like a production aimed at a very young audience that, fortunately, adult viewers will also be able to connect with. [Full Review in Spanish].

Mr. Blake, at Your Service! (2023) Sebastian Zavala Kahn Could it have been better? More cohesive, funnier, more original, and more energetic? Absolutely. But I'm still grateful that films like this continue to be made, especially for a market that doesn't favour their distribution. [Full review in Spanish].

Nuked (2024) Sebastian Zavala Kahn I can't help but think 'Nuked' should have gone further. It should have included more exaggerated gags, had more shocking narrative twists, and developed bigger personalities. [Full review in Spanish].

Hot Spring Shark Attack (2024) Sebastian Zavala Kahn This trashy film combines horror with fantasy, drawing on elements from Steven Spielberg's classic Jaws, Japanese anime, and even sharksploitation. It's pure, absurd entertainment. [Full review in Spanish].

The Queen of My Dreams (2023) Sebastian Zavala Kahn It's about the pains of adolescence, the lack of acceptance by older people towards that which is simply different and, of course, the complex relationships between mothers and daughters. [Full review in Spanish].

Bound (2023) Sebastian Zavala Kahn It's an interesting indie offering; a story centred on a main character plagued by internal issues who also has to deal with having abandoned an aggressive stepfather and a psychologically and physically fragile mother. [Full review in Spanish].

The Chambermaid (2022) Sebastian Zavala Kahn The film improves as it progresses and credibly links the sociopolitical context of the story with the concerns of its protagonists, also credibly depicting Prague at the beginning of the last century. [Full review in Spanish].

The People's Joker (2022) Sebastian Zavala Kahn A personal project made on a small budget that addresses the author's transition, as well as other social themes through the famous DC Comics antihero. [Full review in Spanish].

Nosferatu (1922) Sebastian Zavala Kahn Despite the various versions and adaptations of the classic vampire, F. W. Murnau's film remains relevant and confirms its mark on the history of cinema for its expressionist representation of evil. [Full review in Spanish].

Thelma (2024) Sebastian Zavala Kahn With a ninety-something protagonist who runs, jumps and shoots, Josh Margolin's recent film tells a true, comical and at the same time tender story about an elderly woman who seeks to make the most of life. [Full review in Spanish].

Nickel Boys (2024) Sebastian Zavala Kahn I love that Ross has decided to experiment with such a specific format, and I understand how he has tried to use it to serve the story he wants to tell. That's all very laudable, but sadly, it doesn't quite come together. [Full review in Spanish].

The Devil's Bath (2024) Sebastian Zavala Kahn A chilling portrait of 18th-century rural Austria, The Devil’s Bath strays from horror clichés to immerse us in a deeply human folkloric tale. It is an introspective tragedy that shows how true horror can arise from power dynamics. Full review in Spanish.

Oddity (2024) Sebastian Zavala Kahn Oddity is an intriguing horror film that plays with the viewer's expectations, alternating between supernatural and realistic problems. Although it doesn't offer much tension at first, its ending is horrifying enough. Full review in Spanish.

The Wait (2023) Sebastian Zavala Kahn On the one hand, I admire Gutierrez's efforts and like that he has focused on a context and characters rarely seen in commercial Western cinema. But on the other hand, I can't help but feel that this film could have been more. Full review in Spanish.

Subservience (2024) Sebastian Zavala Kahn S.K. Dale's latest film explores the damage that artificial intelligence can cause when it begins to cross undesirable boundaries. With a rather poor development, the story falls short of what was initially set out. Full review in Spanish.

Hoard  (2023) Sebastian Zavala Kahn The film presents an unusual and emotionally powerful narrative about toxic relationships. It is an original proposal that offers a profound reflection on the impact of memories and maternal love in extreme conditions. Full review in Spanish.

The Thicket (2024) Sebastian Zavala Kahn It combines clichés with a well-crafted atmosphere and outstanding performances, especially from Juliette Lewis. Although the plot is not innovative, its execution and visual style make the film feel unique and effective. Full review in Spanish.

Kill (2023) Sebastian Zavala Kahn Nikhil Nagesh Bhat's latest film delves into a dark and bloody narrative with a simple plot. A train turned into a battlefield, where revenge and violence intertwine with total brutality. Full review in Spanish.

Hundreds of Beavers (2022) Sebastian Zavala Kahn It's not interested in being conventional, but rather in using all kinds of influences from classic silent film, slapstick, cartoons and video games to develop a surprisingly sweet story. Full review in Spanish.

Yana-Wara (2023) Sebastian Zavala Kahn It's not afraid to tell its story explicitly, with topics like the systematic abuse that women suffer from men and the worldview of a town in southern Peru. It's saying, "these things always happened and will continue to happen." Full review in Spanish.

Sex, Love, Misery: New New York (2022) Sebastian Zavala Kahn It manages to empathise with these people, and to connect with an audience that could find themselves in similar situations. Indeed, what they will find here is sex, love and (a little bit of) misery, just like in real life. Full review in Spanish.

The Roundup (2022) Sebastian Zavala Kahn 'The Roundup' cuts straight to the chase: all it wants is to use a real-life story to develop a predictable and archetypical plot, and deliver brutal and well-choreographed action scenes. And it does as promised. Full review in Spanish.

Santos - Skin to Skin (2022) Sebastian Zavala Kahn It turns into an energetic and pleasant experience, which will surely be able to teach something new to those who do not know anything about John Santos and his music, or to enchant fans of said artist. Full review in Spanish.

The Xrossing (2020) Sebastian Zavala Kahn A drama with hints of a thriller that manages to develop its main characters convincingly, and that knows how to take advantage of its colourful locations to tell us about the ghosts of colonisation that may be close to us. Full review in Spanish.

Private Desert (2021) Sebastian Zavala Kahn It has lots to say about the rigidity of gender roles and masculinity in contemporary Brazilian society. The fact that it can convey these messages in a delicate and even at times beautiful way, is what makes it worth recommending. Full review in Spanish.

Dirt Music (2019) Sebastian Zavala Kahn It isn't a great romantic movie, but it's certainly one of the best-looking. Despite that, it's still an overly pompous and self-indulgent melodrama. [Full review in Spanish]
