LADRIDOS

About This Movie

Ladriodos, directed by Joaquínn Salinas, dives deep into the emotional turmoil that comes with quarantine. It’s a drama that explores confinement, building a heavy atmosphere with each passing scene. The pacing feels deliberate, almost suffocating, which really mirrors the characters' trapped states. The performances are raw, particularly the lead, who embodies a soul yearning for freedom while battling inner demons. Visually, it’s striking, relying on practical effects that enhance the stark realism of the narrative. You can really feel the weight of isolation throughout, and that lingering sense of dread makes this one stand out among its peers.

Ladriodos is somewhat of a rarity in home video formats, with limited releases that have become sought after due to its intense thematic explorations and strong performances. Collectors might find the original DVD pressing particularly interesting, as it features a unique cover art and an insightful director’s commentary that adds layers to the viewing experience. Its scarcity and distinct narrative style draw attention from those interested in films that challenge the viewer’s psyche, making it a notable piece in any serious collection.
