Maximiliano (Demián Salomón) has grown up in an orphanage, a period
in his life that has left many mental scars, but he has moved on from
that, has become a successful psychiatrist and author, and if anything
he's using his past as inspiration. And then he learns that his
"father" - as in head of the orphanage - has died, and despite
his reservations, he decides to pay his old hometown a visit for the
funeral, also to resolve a few of his issues from childhood. And at first
it's unexpectedly nice to see his "brothers" from back when, and
he also manages to rekindle the fire with his old flame Anita (Carolina
Marcovsky) - but after a while, things get weird, and not only because his
old brothers don't fully trust him as they feel he has turned his back on
them, and his best friend from back when, Héctor (Héctor Alba), pretty
much insists to play alpha dog with him, there's also something much
darker - which has to do with some rituals from his childhood he never
understood, and the deceased father sitting around in the orphanage as if
alive ...
Deliberately slowburn in approach, The Unburied is a
rather fascinating piece of folk horror, one that's heavy on atmosphere,
which goes hand in hand with never giving away more than absolutely
necessary on a narrative level, aubmenting the feeling of unease, both for
the protagonist and the audience. And some great locations and a strong
ensemble cast really help making this one work.
