'Huesera: The Bone Woman,' from Michelle Garza Cervera, cleverly approaches motherly woes through the lenses of horror, creating an uneasy experience that’s still illuminating. Our review:
Few things are as scary as bringing a new life to the world. First, there’s the issue of pregnancy, where bones change position, and organs get displaced to allow a new body to grow inside a womb. Then, there’s the social and material impact that comes with a child, as time, money, and energy must be fully redirected to the comfort and security of another being.
As the movie progresses, the supernatural presence becomes more real, affecting the world around Valeria and making her family and friends doubt her sanity. Meanwhile, Valeria’s body begins to crack and shift under the weight of her upcoming baby, offering the audience a bizarre body-horror spectacle that does a lot with minimal makeup and special effects, thanks to Solián's commitment to the role.
The way Cervera chose to spread this uncomfortable message is both visceral and highly emotional. Motherhood is a touchy subject, but Huesera never refrains from digging through the dirt to reveal the bones some would prefer to remain buried. For that alone, the movie should already be praised. Still, Huesera is masterfully shot, and every cast member delivers praiseworthy performances. All that only make us more excited to see whatever the filmmaker brings next to the silver screen.
