Recoleta is an intriguing slice of horror that wraps itself around the unique setting of Buenos Aires' Recoleta cemetery. The film follows two florist sisters whose bleak sales drive them into the shadows of the cemetery, and it's here where the atmosphere thickens. The pacing is deliberate, allowing the eerie beauty of their surroundings to seep into the narrative. I found the performances to have a raw authenticity, especially as they navigate desperation and a touch of the supernatural. What stands out are the practical effects, which help ground the film in a tangible reality, even as it dances with the spectral. It’s this blend of personal struggle and haunting folklore that makes it a distinctive piece in the genre.
