Año muerto

About This Movie

Año muerto creates a haunting atmosphere right from the start. The tension builds during that New Year’s Eve dinner, with Mia and her husband’s argument feeling all too relatable, which makes the horror that follows even more unsettling. When her husband returns, the transformation into a creature is done with practical effects that really land — it’s not just CGI fluff. Mia's struggle is layered, representing not just survival, but a deeper commentary on toxic relationships. The pacing is tight, keeping you on edge, and the performances, especially from the lead, are raw and gripping. It's a unique take on domestic horror, blending the supernatural with very real emotional stakes.
