Huesera: The Bone Woman | Rotten Tomatoes (1) Peter Bradshaw Guardian A horror film that doubles as a parable of post-partum depression, something with the creeping anxiety of Polanski’s Repulsion or Rosemary’s Baby. Rated: 3/5 May 9, 2023 Full Review Huesera: The Bone Woman | Rotten Tomatoes (2) Randy Myers San Jose Mercury News Announces the welcome arrival of a new horror filmmaker [Michelle Garza Cervera] who knows how to tell a damn good, multi-layered story that has a purpose and a vision. Rated: 3.5/4 Mar 8, 2023 Full Review Huesera: The Bone Woman | Rotten Tomatoes (3) Sara Michelle Fetters MovieFreak.com Huesera: The Bone Woman is not for the faint of heart. Rated: 3.5/4 Feb 14, 2023 Full Review Huesera: The Bone Woman | Rotten Tomatoes (4) Gianmarco Farfán Cinencuentro Huesera raises the fear of motherhood from a suffocating, anxious, not at all tender feminine vision, desacralizing said stage and terrifying quite a few women. [Full review in Spanish] Aug 27, 2024 Full Review Huesera: The Bone Woman | Rotten Tomatoes (5) Ygraine Hackett-Cantabrana Ghouls Magazine Huesera contains some truly frightening moments of dread and terror, and not just in its traditional scenes of psychological horror, but also manages to tap into the basic gut wrenching fears of any new parents. Rated: 5/5 Jul 9, 2024 Full Review Huesera: The Bone Woman | Rotten Tomatoes (6) Jorge Loser Espinof Huesera' is a brave film, with an inescapable queer background, that does not shy away from the allegories that usually create division among fans of the genre and that frames its horror within the character's anxieties...

Ana S Totalmente olvidable Rated 2.5/5 Stars • Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 10/06/24 Full Review Paul M It's marketed as a horror film and that was what I was after. The horror elements are very low key - it's more like the woman is having paranoid delusions. The movie does ramp up the horror aspects near the end though. I suspect this has gotten such a hihg rating because it's mostly not a horror film. If you are after a movie about a pregnant woman and later mother of newborn who's having paranoid delusions and goes to a spiritualist to solve it, it's probably up your alley. If you are a regular horror fan I would give this a miss. Rated 2/5 Stars • Rated 2 out of 5 stars 09/28/24 Full Review Jonah K a fascinating folktale that contrasts the visceral nature of breaking bones to the subtle process of conformation. Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 07/31/24 Full Review E. R Es una película regular, la trama es vaga y sin peso, tiene un par de escenas buenas pero nada de otro mundo, la vi por que tiene buena calificación pero no merece tanto, hay muchas películas mejores para ver antes que esta. Rated 1/5 Stars • Rated 1 out of 5 stars 04/28/24 Full Review Miguel M Una pelicula de terror muy escalofriante sobre la maternidad, me gusto mucho la decisión final de la pelicula para la protagonista. Rated 4.5/5 Stars • Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 04/03/24 Full Review Truth B Not sure why this movie had such high ratings. It was slow, the ending lacked significantly and though it had a few unsettling & dare I say creepy moments it was not worth the time invested to watch it in its entirety Rated 2/5 Stars • Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/04/24 Full Review Read all reviews
