So, 'The Chosen One' from '85 is quite a curious piece. It starts off slow, almost mundane, with Federico just going through the motions of his cashier job. The atmosphere shifts dramatically when the body drops onto his car—what a way to kick things off, right? The pacing picks up as the plot dives into this underbelly of intrigue and danger. It’s not just about the shock factor; it explores themes of fate and the monotony of everyday life. Practical effects are minimal but effective, creating a gritty realism that enhances the tension. Performances are solid enough to keep you engaged, though the direction is a bit of a mystery. It's distinctive for its blend of ordinary and extraordinary, really sets itself apart in the genre.
