Writer-director Martín Rejtman’s La Práctica skillfully eases us into a world where yoga is a lifestyle and not just an exercise. This is a world that promises health for the health-conscious, an improvement of one’s life through strict scheduling discipline, and freedom from earthly troubles thanks to the influence of Hinduism that can still be felt in yoga’s practice. Pity, then, that Gustavo (Esteban Bigliardi), an Argentinian yoga instructor living in Chile, is no longer grounded in his connection to that practice, as his separation from his wife, Vanesa (Manuela Oyarzún), prompts a series of life changes that a Vinyasa pose can’t fix.
Despite his dedication to exercise and a vegan diet, Gustavo’s health is threatened by a series of stretching accidents and pratfalls, forcing him to teach his yoga classes with a limp. He lives, at first, with Vanesa’s brother and the man’s wife,...

The synopsis for Embryo only really explains a hint of the film even if it seems to give away quite a lot. It explains that the movie follows a couple who while camping are abducted by aliens and woman, Evelyn is impregnated. Since that abduction she is having cravings for human flesh.
But this isn’t the only story in Embryo, a film that is some kind of strange anthology as we see a couple of other creepy tales that all link together eventually.
