Sorcery

About This Movie

Sorcery (2024) transports us to the misty shores of Chiloé Island in 1880, where the blend of adventure, fantasy, and horror feels both immersive and unsettling. Rosa Raín, a Huilliche girl grappling with her father's murder, seeks not just justice but a deeper connection to her roots through Mateo and his band of sorcerers. The atmosphere is rich, almost palpable, steeped in the folklore of the region. Pacing is deliberate, allowing the tension to build slowly, culminating in some striking practical effects that enhance the supernatural elements without overshadowing the raw performances. The film’s exploration of grief and vengeance, wrapped in a culturally resonant narrative, provides a unique lens that feels refreshing amidst the genre's tropes.
