Description

One of the most acclaimed horror movies of the year had a very limited theatrical release back in February and barely showed in Seattle, if at all. We're proud to provide a few more opportunities to see this one in a cinema.

 

HUESERA is an unsettling work of body horror exploring the rarely discussed challenges of motherhood. Director Michelle Garza Cervera’s feature debut is the story of a desperate protagonist navigating a chilling world filled with looming danger. Valeria (Natalia Solián) shows her devotion to the idea of becoming a mother by making a pilgrimage to a shrine for Our Lady of Guadalupe to pray that the Virgin Mary blesses her womb. But her joy at becoming pregnant is quickly taken away when she's cursed by a sinister entity. As danger closes in, she's forced deeper into the recesses of a dark magic that threatens to consume her.

 

In Spanish with English subtitles.
