Stevecorp Don't listen to the negative reviews

Odelecol Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

Fleur Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

Scarlet The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Omar PhD So, you are entertaining the idea of watching this Mexican flick? Perhaps you heard that it is based on a very famous book authored by some big-time researcher? Well, as you know there are different ways of being famous and this movie and its related book are extremely famous for being perhaps some of the worst ever works of fiction made by any person during the course of human history. It's author is a well known fraud. This movie is so catastrophically moronic and staggeringly bad, is so bad indeed that any attempt to measure its true terribleness would create a black hole that would destroy the universe as we know it. The acting, the music, the filming, lighting, every single thing that you can imagine is bad with this movie. So please, turn around and run away from it as fast as you can and never look back. This is quite probably the lowest point of Mexican cinema, from this point forward it can only be better, they have effectively hit rock bottom.

insomniac_rod Well I exaggerated a little. But to be honest, "Cañitas" is truly one of the worst Horror movies ever produced in México, and if I go further; in the history of Horror cinema.I'm a Horror enthusiastic and I can proudly say that I've watched most of Mexican Horror movies in order to generate a Horror-movie culture in my beautiful country, México.But "Cañitas" made fun of Horror fans with a lame plot, boring pace, horrible acting, laughable and mediocre f/x (a little effort wouldn't hurt), silly dialogs, and absolutely no sense of the word "fear" or even suspense.This is by far the worst Mexican production in cinema from the millennium. I'm not exaggerating. Please, avoid this movie and the novel! Everything's a hoax.

vforvancouver There are two kinds of opinions about Carlos Trejo's movie: he thinks it's the best movie in the world. The rest of Mexico believes it's not worth the time you spend watching it. In fact, it's not even a horror movie. It's a comedy. And it is also a bad comedy. It has bad acting, bad special effects (in fact, it has special defects), bad photograph, bad sound, bad everything. It has lots of continuity errors: you can look through the window and it's illuminated in a frame, but in the next scene it's dark, and the only change has been that the camera switched actors. It has more holes in the plot than a fisher's net. I believe that the argument was produced by the proverbial typing monkeys, but instead of typing "Hamlet" at random they typed "Cañitas" on purpose. The only good thing about the movie it's the end: it means that you can go home if you are still awake.Considering that the so-called book of the same name is bad written, you can imagine why this movie is so bad. Don't watch this movie. It makes "Plan 9 from Outer Space" look good.

teniente91 ''Cañitas'', i have to said that i like get fear, i like a lot get fear, but i have to said that i hate the horror movies, cause like a cinema student i completely can said that the most part of this kind of movies were terrible, cause they were horrible make it, ''Cañitas'' it's another example of this, first i understand that it's a B movie, but it's disappointed that a B movie as be so bad like this, cause this kind of movies in general as better than the biggest commercial movies, the last year we have ''El Laberinto del Fauno'' that was a masterpiece of filming, and was a B movie, but this year we have ''Cañitas'' was a terrible movie, the screenplay was full of mistakes, a lot, until that mistakes isn't be so hard less and is not mistakes that get f*ck it the entire movie whit just be one, but are a lot of mistakes that leave the movie f*ck it, and easy: direction, performances, sound editing and music, were terrible!, apart you said that been a movie who really get fear but in one scene, i and my favorite blond, we get laugh, easy the movie were terrible and like Mexican i said been honest, we suck on the horror genre, plis we make wonderful movies like ''Y tu mama tambien'', ''Amores Perros'' and ''El Laberinto del Fauno'', we can whit just 2 things, good screenplays and good directors
