Two young women are in bed together having sex. There’s a knock at the door. The girl who goes downstairs to answer the door is attacked by a man with a machete and loses her fingers. Later, we see the man growling and rolling around on a hill with a whole box of fingers spilled everywhere.
The scene changes to two parents, out in the middle of the desert in Tijuana, with a son and daughter. The daughter is having her first period. The kids want to go see a hill, and the parents, Sol and Felix, tell them to come back in ninety minutes. The kids go into the cave on the hill, while the parents have sex in the car. The kids don’t come back on time, and the parents start to worry.
While the mother wants for the father to check things out, a local guy tells her that the Indians considered that a cursed place and the no one should go up there. There were supposed to be creatures there who think we are nothing more than shells. Felix returns without children, and they call the cops. The parents argue and fight all night long. The first thing the next morning, the cops bring the kids back, apparently unharmed. They all go home, and the parents have make-up sex.
We’re 25 minutes in, and I’m wondering if this is a horror movie or a porno. We’ve had three sex scenes and only one pile of severed fingers! Nothing happens that night, but the next day, both kids start acting weird. Sol takes the daughter to the gynecologist, and then later to a psychologist. He explains that they’ve been traumatized, and that it’ll just take time. They both drew pictures of where they were, and both pictures had a red truck in them.
The father goes to the police to ask about the red truck, and they explain that a serial killer who collected fingers was seriously wounded and disappeared up on that hill years ago, and he wasn’t the only one to go missing. The kids go back to the psychologist, and he now says there are signs of rape. They find the red truck and the kids go berserk.
That night, the parents again track down the man in the red truck. He admits he saw the kids on the hill. They find the daughter’s bloody panties in the guy’s home and they kill him; there’s lots of blood. What do you do when you’re covered blood? Take a shower, which leads to another sexy scene. Not long after, it becomes obvious that the children are possessed, and the police are onto the the parents for the murder. Oh, and the psychologist suggests that the two children are having sex with each other.
Comments: The cinematography feels like a low-budget indie film, and the dubbing isn’t very good. Several times a character spoke and their mouths didn’t move at all. It’s very long, and there isn’t enough “demonic” stuff to be worth the time investment. The ending wasn’t worth the build-up.
My rating? 2/10
