The Untamed

The new film from Amat Escalante (Cannes Film Festival best director winner for "Heli") follows young mother Alejandra whose life is disrupted by the arrival of a mysterious woman, Veronica. She introduces her to an isolated cabin in the woods where an otherworldly creature dwells, a source of great pleasure but also great danger. THE UNTAMED "does that very rare thing in cinema in that it blends mystery, horror and pseudo-reality with a kind of dark subconscious arousal" (The Film Stage).
