Why watch this film?
The Argentine director Sebastián Schindel (responsible for the award-winning 'The Boss: Radiography of a Crime') and with a cast of first-line Argentine actors (Joaquín Furriel and Martina Gusman), 'El Hijo' is a peculiar thriller that reminds us of 'Rosemary's Baby'. The film makes a powerful reflection on the fears of parenthood, under an intriguing gothic setting, and a descent into madness in which the real and the imaginary cross.

The Crimes That Bind
Argentine thriller, 'Crímenes de familia' is an exclusive Netflix production starring Cecilia Roth - famous Argentine actress who became world-renowned for her incredible performance in 'Todo Sobre Mi Madre'. The movie tackles very current topics such as corruption, class differences, drug abuse, violence against women and also the union between them. There was no better actress to face the strong female protagonism of the story. Roth is in a strong and highly representative role. The story is very well built, leaving a suspenseful atmosphere from start to finish.

The Wrath of God
Argentine thriller very complete, which combines drama, mystery and suspense in a good plot. The story revolves around a young woman immersed who finds herself in the middle of a cycle of deaths involving her relatives and she begins to suspect that her former employer may be involved. Much more than a narrative about crime, it is about mourning and how those left behind suffer. The question that permeates throughout the production is: is this an orchestrated tragedy or just an unfortunate fate? 'La Ira de Dios' is dark - daring - and a great recommendation of psychological thriller.
Thriller

Miller's Girl
Miller's Girl is a controversial thriller starring Jenna Ortega (best known for her role in Wednesday) and Martin Freeman (from The Hobbit). In the story, he plays a charismatic and intelligent teacher facing a turbulent time in his marriage, who begins to receive advances from the young student played by Ortega. From there, the film takes on a '90s vibe, with the two becoming involved without knowing how to handle the emotions that arise. The ending is somewhat outdated, placing the blame on the woman without much remorse, but it works for those looking for a film to pass the time and see how the story unfolds.
