I had such high hopes after reading all the glowing reviews, but was terribly disappointed. It just wasn't scary to me at all, and I'm a mother so I should have been able to grasp the concept of fear related to pregnancy - maybe it's a cultural thing and I just missed it, but I really wanted to be chilled and never got there. I thought Natalia Solian had one expression throughout the entire film and I could not develop enough empathy with her character to buy into her distress. I did enjoy peripheral elements like the Mexican punk scene and the thematic use of color (pink), and there were a couple of genuinely creepy scenes, but it never truly scared me. I don't want to be a hater because obviously a lot of people loved this film but sadly, I was not among them.
