🎬 MovieFinder's Take
This Mexican black farce expertly walks a tightrope between horror and absurdist comedy. Director Rogelio A. González builds humor from the stark contrast between the premise's chilling nature and the protagonist's dry, almost bureaucratic approach to executing it.
What lingers after the final frame is the film's sharp, timeless satire of marriage, social conventions, and the performance of normalcy. It’s a deliciously wicked game of cat and mouse where laughter springs from the darkest places. — MovieFinder Editorial
Director: Rogelio A. González

A waxwork propriety, saturated with the scent of chemicals and performative piety.
