Criminal Abortion

About This Movie

Criminal Abortion is a gritty dive into the underbelly of 1970s Barcelona, steeped in a dark atmosphere that really pulls you in. Iquino’s direction lends a raw edge to the narrative, which unfolds at a deliberate pace, allowing the tension to build as the police close in on a seedy pimp. The horror here isn't just in the illegal abortions but in the stark portrayal of exploitation and desperation faced by the women. The performances are pretty intense, carrying a weight that resonates throughout. And those practical effects? They’re unsettling, adding to the film's grim realism. It’s not for everyone, but it’s a unique entry in the crime-drama genre, reflecting societal issues of its time with an unflinching eye.
