General Cemetery

About This Movie

General Cemetery is an intriguing horror flick that dives deep into themes of grief and the consequences of meddling with the dead. Set against the haunting backdrop of Iquitos, the film captures a palpable sense of dread as Andrea, played by Airam Galliani, grapples with her father's death. The pacing is deliberate, which builds tension effectively, incrementally ramping up the unease as she and her friends use a ouija board in their naive quest for closure. The practical effects, though not extravagant, serve their purpose, enhancing the film’s eerie atmosphere. Performances feel raw and authentic, particularly Galliani's portrayal of someone caught between loss and the haunting unknown. It's a distinct piece that leans into its cultural context, making it stand out in the indie horror landscape.
