This is the story of a man and his arrival in the land of the dead, where he is greeted by a worm, smiling skulls, and the Catrina (Posada’s famous fancy skeleton) herself. Gradually, our character discovers that, barring some inconveniences, being dead is not so bad. (Morelia International Film Festival)

englanti Director René Castillo wanted to try out if the claymation technique would suit the horror film genre in animated movies, and although in my opinion, it's not as perfect as, for example, traditional 2D animation, it still works quite well mainly thanks to the great exaggeration and the combination of two genres, which we know well from Tim Burton's Corpse Bride. Those who don't want to spend time with Burton's full-length animated film will see a similar story here in about 10 minutes, although not as masterfully executed as by the significantly more famous American creator. The visual concept of the characters is, in my opinion, quite influenced by one of the most famous Latin American artists, Mexican graphic artist José Guadalupe Posada. Overall impression: 60%. ()
