When their father dies, a trio of siblings are forced to take on the responsibility of providing for their family, which in the case of the family in director Jorge Michel Grau’s movie means finding people they can bring home to ritualistically kill and eat. It isn’t too long before the kids discover they’re not really good at the family business and the police are soon on their trail. While Grau certainly has the style to make the bloodier moments of the movie hard to watch, what makes the story work is the way he builds the family drama over the course of the film. The clan could be fighting over the best way to run the family watch repair business and it would still be intense to sit through. The fact that they are cannibals only cranks the tension up to 11.
