Weak plot, fair acting, sub-par direction.

Ana Claudia Talancón is a very good actress and she makes the film, the rest of the crew --unknowns all- are, basically, irrelevant.

Although there are *a lot* of huge holes and unexplained elements in the plot, it --with a fair amount of deduction abilities on apported by the viewer- manages to hold its own; still there's quite a lot of scenes that will afront the viewer.

In any case, the movie manages to keep, after a slow beginning and erratic dialog, a decent amount of grip on the viewer, albeit obnoxious characters, and struggles but delivers a good closure.

Not so bad
isaacochoterena25 August 2021
Despite how slow and boring the first and third acts are, this movie comes to have decent things.

The script is the weakest part of this film that fails when it wants to explain something to you that is not very important. The second act is the redeeming of the film by managing to create a certain tension in the viewer, the performances are decent in this part and the photography is good throughout the entire film. The characters react in the way that a real person would in most situations that arise, it has a decent ending. It is definitely not as bad as it seems but it lacks a lot to be able to stand out from the other thrillers.

A well made exploitation thriller.

Warning: Spoilers
Paraiso Perdido its a mix between Porno Holocaust and Drive, its very well directed, the opening scene its one of the best in a horror film that I have seen in a while.

The acting may be its weaker element but its not that bad, the film doesn't top that great opening scene, but its very decent for the rest of the film, the cinematography its amazing, beautifully shot, and quite intense.

There is a genuine mystery to the film, you want to know whats behind all of this and the resolution to it, may not be of everyone's liking, but I still say its very decent.

The film isn't for everyone, maybe most people didn't liked it because of the weird acting or its weird plot, but its definitely decent to an extent.
