La Noche De Los Girasoles

La Noche De Los Girasoles (The Night Of The Sunflowers) features some scenes that are hard to watch and that are pretty disturbing leaving you with a bit of a fright, though they don't take away from the film's perfect setup and structure. La Noche gradually heightens the tension to a point that towards the end I was planted in my seat, unmoving just watching the screen with intense eyes to see how this thrill of a film would come to a close. There are many characters and they come together through an event that's set in motion by a guy who can be assumed to be a rapist and a killer. It's an out of control story which creates bad guys out of victims because of a certain situation they are confronted with. It shows how everyday people can turn into murderers when something inside of them just snaps or things grow out of proportion. It shows how killers don't always have to be bad people with merely bad intentions. It's about the motives that can drive people to act in wrong ways. La Noche is a film which leaves you with a bag of mixed emotions, one you can't immediately shake off. After I still could feel the effect the film had on my stomach. The film completely took me into its story and kept a powerful hold on my body. La Noche is a really good film, though very heavy and not always easy to watch. But it's definitely a film that deserves to be seen. It would be a shame to let it go unnoticed.

Verdict:
A very strong film that deals with characters who are put into a situation that sets them off into a wrong direction with life changing effects. Not always easy to watch it's a film that lingers on long after having left the cinema. It's a film that deserves to be seen by many and that will leave you with the satisfaction of having watched a film that has a real impact on you.
