Our Take
A socialite investigates a crumbling silver-mining mansion and finds it has been eating its inhabitants for generations. Moreno-Garcia writes the horror through a colonial lens — the house is a metaphor for extraction and the body is the site of it. Glamorous and genuinely disturbing in equal measure. Noemi walks into a trap wearing a cocktail dress and Moreno-Garcia makes both facts feel entirely correct.
