Death Always Craves

About This Movie

So, 'Death Always Craves' is quite an intriguing piece from João Augusto de Nardo. It starts with this young pregnant woman who visits her sick mother, but things quickly spiral into this unnerving mix of supernatural occurrences and family secrets. The atmosphere is thick with tension, almost claustrophobic at times, really pulling you into the unsettling vibe of that old house. The pacing ebbs and flows, creating moments of dread that linger. What sets this apart is its use of practical effects—they're gritty and tactile, which adds to the authenticity of the horror. Performances are solid, especially the lead, who captures that blend of vulnerability and strength. There’s a sense of exploring generational trauma wrapped in the horror, which gives it a unique spin.
