The Returned

Julia, wife of a wealthy lord living near the Iguazu Falls, has nightmares for several days. The lord builds a fence to ward off the indigenous people, the Guarani tribe, but Julia is still anxious about her son Manuel’s safety. One day Manuel suddenly disappears, and when searching for him, Julia runs into her maid, Kerana, who was believed to have died one year before, under the falls.
[Sitges FF] The film deals with different genres and complex themes such as motherhood and the contempt for indigenous. The elements of horror are introduced by the living dead, but closer to the Latin American zombification that shows a reborn who is lost in this world. The use of electronic sound elements is not justified, but the whole is an interesting approach to colonization from the point of view of horror.
