Visitante de invierno (2008)
amazingly good
It is the first time I write a review on IMDb. I think people write reviews here for shouting angry when they saw a bad movie or to express their satisfaction when they saw a good one. This is my case. There are other people who love movies and like to be able to post their opinions on the net. Also, of course, there are people who write just to vent their frustrations.
Winter Visitor is one of the best horror films I've seen. I don't say this because I'm from Argentina. I was skeptic: a horror movie from Argentina? What can I expect? Argentinean horror films had a very bad reputation inside Argentina: That's way no producer wanted to put money on this kind of pictures.
Not only I liked it but also exceeded my expectations.
The are many reasons and I only enumerate a few: the acting is excellent, from the smaller role to the main character, Ariel (Santiago Predero) who achieves an amazing level of credibility. The actors direction and staging are great.
Esquenazi manages to get us into this nightmare with a level of realism rare in horror films. Another excellent decision are the locations: forest, sea shore, all this help to create a distinctive atmosphere, cold and oppressive. The idea of a murderer from the past reincarnated in a person from today is original and interesting.
If you expect plot explanations in the form of speeches you will not find it in this film. If you want just blood and gust with no story, this is not for you. Leaving aside the fact that Winter Visitor is a film from Argentina, is the kind of great horror film that only appear once every three or four years.
