Rosario 4K 2025

Rosario, the daughter of Mexican immigrants, has fulfilled the dream of her parents, who risked their lives to move to the United States. She is a successful broker. She senses the slightest market fluctuations at her fingertips and is always on top of things.

But work and family are rarely compatible. She rarely sees her few relatives, but feels obligated to them.

So when her only grandmother dies, she drops everything and goes to her to arrange the funeral properly.

But a snowstorm hits New York, the medical team is delayed, Rosario is stranded in the house with her grandmother's body, and suddenly learns something about her that turns her life upside down.

Her grandmother was a follower of the Palo religion, and her small apartment had room for a creepy altar. On it were Rosario's hair and baby teeth. It seems that her grandmother was a witch, and now Rosario is locked in the house not only with her grandmother's dead body, but also with the evil spirit she summoned.

I watched the film and know that the plot described how it could be seen from one side, but that's not the whole truth, and it's not everyone's truth. To understand everything, you have to watch the film, but...

But I won't say that the story is so exciting that it's worth it.

The plot adds a little about the difficulties of assimilation and finding a balance between a new culture, work, and family, but even if the authors intended to emphasize this, it didn't work out very well.

Perhaps the only thing they managed to show was that parents really want their children to have a better life.

The main drawback of this horror film is that there isn't much horror in it. The picture is also very, very dark. For most of the film, 80% of the screen is solid black, and in the remaining 20%, you try to make something out.

The heroine's actions are often very illogical, and her attempts to understand ancient religion and rituals using a “self-study guide” are a very strange choice. In terms of staging, the authors' decision to have the heroine narrate all her actions also seems strange.

Somehow, they failed to competently justify what seems to be a typical horror situation—one-on-one with a sinister entity—and logically build a path to possible salvation.

I still don't understand the move with David Dastmalchian's character and his deep fryer. Either it's some kind of joke, or his storyline was cut during editing.
