Mrs. Lupe

About This Movie

So, Mrs. Lupe is a bit of a hidden gem from '86, blending crime and horror in a rather gritty way. The pacing is kind of erratic, which might not sit well with everyone, but it really adds to the tension as you watch this aging landlady slowly regain her power. The two antagonists are quite nasty, and their methods are unsettling, creating a palpable sense of dread. What’s interesting is how it tackles themes of exploitation and revenge, giving you a glimpse into the darker side of human nature. The practical effects are modest but effective, keeping that raw, visceral feel. Performances are solid, especially the lead—she brings a real depth to Mrs. Lupe, making her transformation all the more satisfying.
