Tigers Are Not Afraid (2017)

The saddest horror movie I've ever watched

[7/10 · 24 January 2021]

There was a shooting near the school and classes are suspended. Estrella's teacher gave her on the floor during the shooting three pieces of chalks each representing a wish. She went back home but her mother was missing. Haunted by his mother she went out and couldn't get back home and wanted to join the kids living near her house on a roof. Shine, pop and lil morro and others were homeless kids living there. At first they rejected her but then she joined them and they wanted to killed caco with the gun and the phone stolen from him. Estrella wanted to kill him by herself to prove herself for the gang and for her mother but when she went in he was already dead because she wished she wouldn't have to kill him and her wish was granted. But she lied to the gang saying she killed her. Chino the cartel criminal actually killed him because he shot a video of him killing Estella's mother and one of the kids took the phone. They moved to an abandoned huge apartment complex with gold fish on the floor and a even a theater stage. The criminals found them there and they killed morro. They got to escape with morro's body. In front of a circular window it looked like a dark fairy tale. The two in the gang wanted to get help from the police but shine said police are the worst and he was right. They just drove away when they watched the video chino killing Estrella's mother. Everyone in the society failed them. They buried morro in a box and threw his body on the water beneath the building. Morros ghost and his tiger toy was there at the funeral too. And like every other victim of the huescas, Estrella could see and talk to his ghost too. They decided to contact chino to give the phone back and he'll stop the killings in return. They met at an abandoned building of baths. When he took the wrong phone he just killed the guys with him and wanted the kids to get away. But he then noticed it's the wrong phone he killed shine and Estrella could escape and found the room in which the bodies wrapped in plastic sheet dumped. She locked him up in with the dead as her mothers ghost wished and said goodbye to the ghost of shine and saw the real tiger roaring in the entrance. She opened the door and walked into a beautiful prairie. It was one of the saddest films I've watched and the kids were great actors all of them. The details were so perfect like shine wanted to erase his burned scar in his face as one of the wishes of Estrella and his background story about the huescas set his house on fire and took his mother.
