Con Vida: Una historia del Covid-19

The scouts

COVID paranoia-as-horror is exactly the kind of obvious thematic move that usually makes me roll my eyes, but Tamayo's surrealist approach to the interior monologue keeps it from landing in PSA territory—there's something genuinely unsettling about how the pandemic becomes pure psychology rather than just epidemiology.

A competent descent into psychological horror that echoes the body-horror tradition, though the film's 2020 urgency hasn't aged into the kind of formal rigor or tonal control that would position it meaningfully within the lineage of horror craft—it feels more urgent than considered.

The disorienting sound design and the decision to keep us locked in subjective paranoia rather than cutting to external confirmation creates an unbearable claustrophobia on a minimal budget; it's the commitment to staying *inside* the fear rather than validating it that makes this work.
