Synopsis
Kuwaresma is a horror film revolving around the family of husband and wife Arturo and Rebecca Fajardo. Their son Luis returns to their old house with a dark past to unravel the true reason behind the death of his twin Manuela who mysteriously died on the second week of Lent. Sharon’s first horror film in her 41-year career, Kuwaresma is a story of the lengths a mother will go to protect her child.
Review
It sends a myriad of messages, some of which may feel abhorrent depending mainly on perspective. This is all good. A fine horror film should never feel easy. It should disrupt and put the audience in a position of discomfort. It shouldn’t be forgettable.
