Crónicas Paranormales - La llamada

About This Movie

Crónicas Paranormales - La llamada is a quirky blend of comedy and supernatural whimsy set in the early '80s. The film kicks off with César de Grajales, whose eccentric invention—a telephone claiming to connect with the afterlife—sets the stage for a delightful chaos. The atmosphere is a mix of nostalgia and absurdity, enhanced by some surprisingly effective practical effects that keep the viewer engaged. The pacing has a nice rhythm, oscillating between laugh-out-loud moments and genuine intrigue, particularly during César's interactions with Plutarco Elías Calles. The performances are a bit over the top but charm rather than detract from the narrative. This one stands out for its playful take on existential questions through humor.
