Storyline
Featured review
Disjointed and utterly disappointing
When several couples get stranded at a small, remote village in the Mexican countryside, they realize the truth about a legendary clock that will predict people's deaths is true and that a sinister figure is intent on forcing the issues to be true.
This was a mostly frustrating Mexican horror effort that is quite liberal with it's horror issues since they appear only at the film's bookends while the middle of the film is quite hard to be called a horror film. Those bookends, though, are quite fun and definitely worthwhile, with the opening offering a shadowy figure chasing frantic and scared individuals through a darkened, foggy forest that starts it off rather well, while the finale is the figure's attack on the couples in the house, and it works well with the house's layout to provide some fine scares, excitement and a few cool deaths in the whole experience. That said, the rest of the movie isn't that enjoyable other than the fact they get the hottest girl amongst the group in skin-tight tank-tops and body-hugging underwear that's always thrust into the camera at every opportunity, as it consists of endless scenes of the group arguing over their situation and how they'll get out, with an occasional attempt at scare-making only to wimp out with a shortened scene that's quite confusing overall. That these are where the film spends the majority of it's running time is where the film falters, since it's disproportionate how much horror/drama time there is in the film, and what ultimately causes the downfall.
Rated Unrated/R: Violence, Graphic Language, Nudity and a sex scene.
