Carlos Enrique Taboada Walker (b. Mexico City, July 18, 1929, d. April 15, 1997) was a film director and writer, awarded by the Ariel Award, which was characterized by driving the horror genre and suspense.
This film is the sociopathic sister of "Pan's Labyrinth". All the inocence, everything that was pure in Del Toro's film is absent in this haunting story about a little girl that convinces another one that she herself is an evil old witch. This is a magical film, but it certainly is dark magic.
Interesting gothic fairy tale in which two little girls are insidiously captivated by witchcraft and satanism, only to be devoured by their own distorted imagination. Final film by mexican master of suspense Carlos Enrique Taboada.
