Nico

About This Movie

Nico is a haunting exploration of family ties stretched thin by grief and unresolved emotions. The film’s pacing is deliberately slow, which really heightens the sense of dread as Florencia gathers her daughters and ex-husband in that foreboding forest. It’s almost like the woods themselves are a character, echoing past tragedies. The practical effects used for the horror elements are understated, and that works in the film's favor, allowing the real terror to stem from the characters' interactions. The performances are raw, especially from the lead, who navigates her guilt and anger with a palpable intensity. It’s a distinct blend of drama and horror that leaves a lingering unease—definitely a piece that stays with you long after the credits roll.
