The cider

About This Movie

The Cider is an intriguing blend of comedy and horror that walks a fine line between the absurd and the macabre. Cholo Cabrera is this endearing yet tragic character, aspiring to be a clown and mime amidst the disdain of his family. That initial light-heartedness twists into something darker with his transformation into 'El Sidras.' The film's pacing is uneven, almost reflective of Cholo's tumultuous emotional journey, making the heavier themes stand out starkly against the comedic backdrop. The practical effects, though not top-tier, add a certain rawness that enhances the unsettling vibe. Performances are varied; some moments resonate with genuine humor, while others evoke a sense of discomfort, showing how rejection can morph a dream into a nightmare.
