The movie features four short horror films that are directed and written by women. Iconoclastic musician St. Vincent (aka Annie Clark) serves the standout course in this mismatched banquet of distaff-helmed horror.

It's a pleasure to meet with this kind of works, where a group of women use their talent in a genre that continues to be erroneously associated with leading men, which shows us that diversity is necessary. [Full review in Spanish]

The four narratives ... achieve varying levels of black comedy and terror with an emphasis on women's issues.
