Carniçal is intriguing. The film weaves a dark tale about Felipe, a boy caught in this awkward double life. His romance with an older woman, disapproved by his bitter mother, adds tension to the narrative. The arrival of the gypsies shifts things dramatically, revealing secrets that spiral into chaos. The atmosphere is thick with foreboding, and the pacing has this unsettling rhythm that keeps you on edge. The practical effects are decent for a low-budget horror, serving their purpose without overshadowing the story. Performances are raw and genuine, particularly from the lead, who really captures that mix of youthful innocence and lurking dread. It's distinctive for how it explores themes of forbidden love and familial conflict against a backdrop of rural mysticism.
