"Huesera" is the type of staggering supernatural nightmare that is as transfixing as it is terrifying. Read full review

Dig deeper and Huesera reveals itself to be a wilier film — an astute study of desire and self-deception. Read full review

Huesera: The Bone Woman will take your conception of the limits of the horror genre and break every bone in its body. Read full review

Propelled by a superb central performance by Natalia Solian, the film’s potential excesses are held under tight control as it takes us, like a Mexican riff on Rosemary’s Baby, on a nightmare journey through the dark side of motherhood involving gaslighting, body horror, and the occult.

Huesera may have needed more scares or a darker ending to push it over the top, but as is, it’s a thoughtful meditation on choice, love and the anguish of expectation, dressed in the clothing of a clear-eyed, anxious body horror. Read full review

Huesera: The Bone Woman remains a highly competent debut feature. It’s a chilling reminder that when something feels off, you should listen to your gut. Read full review

The horrors of childbirth become entangled in a demonic subplot as Huesera fits neatly into the list of chilling pregnancy horror tales, but doesn’t add much new to it. Read full review

Best mexican horror film in ages. The fear of maternity is expressed really well. Reminded me of 'The Lost Daughter.' A must see!

It's not until the last 10 minutes or so that this film becomes genuinely creepy, mainly because of the visuals and the atmosphere rather than what the story accomplishes.

Before that it's merely a game of tension and not a very effective one to be fair. It wasn't a bad approach, but itsIt's not until the last 10 minutes or so that this film becomes genuinely creepy, mainly because of the visuals and the atmosphere rather than what the story accomplishes.
