Commentary

Sometimes scary fairy tales do exist. At least I guess they do, because it was too dark to see anything in this video. It’s very tense and suspenseful, but I have no idea what was going on.

I looked up “Abracitos” on Google to see if it’s some kind of myth that I was unfamiliar with, but all that came up was links to this film. Apparently, their mother died and this evil woman-spirit thing decided to stalk the two daughters for some reason. I feel like I missed half the story, because there’s just no explanation at all.
