MURDER ME, MONSTER
[MUERE, MONSTRUO, MUERE]
Alejandro Fadel's Guillermo del Toro-meets-David Lynch, hyper-surreal creature feature is set in a remote area at the foot of the Andes. When a woman's headless body is found, rural police officer Cruz investigates the bizarre case, soon finding his lover's husband, David, to be a prime suspect. But David blames the crime on a "monster" with whom he has a telepathic connection. Cruz slowly begins to doubt that the killer is entirely human, diving headlong into a gory mystery that deepens at every turn.
