Tigers Are Not Afraid

Directed by Issa López

A haunting horror fairytale set against the backdrop of Mexico’s devastating drug wars,​ TIGERS ARE NOT AFRAID follows a group of orphaned children armed with three magical wishes, running from the ghosts that haunt them and the cartel that murdered their parents. Filmmaker Issa López creates a world that recalls the early films of Guillermo del Toro, imbued with her own gritty urban spin on magical realism to conjure a wholly unique experience that audiences will not soon forget. A SHUDDER EXCLUSIVE.

A decent watch. Nice soundtrack. More of a thriller than a horror. Wish they dialled more into the fantastical element of the story, while dialing up the horrors of the cartel and their impact on everyday people

Not horror, barely fantasy but still a well-performed movie

Different and unique. Worth a watch. Good ghost and revenge story. Kids are funny and charming.

Very good. Not horror in my opinion but still very grim.

Reminds me of “the devils backbone” from Guillermo del Toro. Love the storyline and kids performance is perfect
