Ángel Negro

Presented as "the first chilean horror movie", this film is not only the first in this way. Is the first successful attempt to do a movie for entertainment. Until now usually chilean directors tried to do "auteur" films with different results. So, Angel Negro is not a deep or very artistic film but keeps you in your seat all the way. I worked as cameraman there and was a tough work. We struggle with serious budget problems but fortunately all this misery didn't brought a B-series movie. Andrea Freund's performance and Arnaldo Rodríguez cinematography are, in my humble opinion, the highest points.

The first horror movie made in Chile, a decent movie but doesn't bring nothing new to the table for this kind of movie. the history is to similar to several new-school horror movies like scream, i know what you did last summer, valentine, etc.

Angel negro is not only a new try to make movies in a country where is so difficult to make them, Angel Negro is the first horror Chilean movie and it works perfectly. You can not ask for a huge money production but they replace it with a strong creation. Jorge Olguín could create a very good fun without any ambition, that was for better. This Movie is more close to entertainment cinema than the "autor" cinema and that we can appreciate it because this movie is one of the most funny chilean movie ever made. blood, scream and persecutions are its elements in an authentical horror movie. Andrea Freund is a great actress and her performance in this movie is simply irresistible.

A good entertainment, good performances and a funny story make of Angel Negro the first Chilean Horror Movie and one of the most funny.

It's the first film of Jorge Olguin when he was a student of cinema in the university, with a budget of 25 thousand dollars managed to make this feature of terror, that is first in Chile. The plot is very similar to films of assassins with adolescents, very similar to the films like Scream, I Know What You Did Last Summer, Urban Legend, etc… But the interesting thing, is that in spite of his ultra-lowbudget, it has much atmosphere and it is looked like films of Dario Argento. Without a doubt, Angel Negro, is plus "giallo" that slasher. The scenes filmed in B/N are formidable. It is a film violent and very melancholic, has a spirit very twisted, in spite of his low-budget, is filmed elegant, without a doubt it is an excellent new blood for new a terror!!

It's a film of horror with much atmosphere and very good performances. The plot is very classic, an adolescent abused by a group of companions, commits suicide. 10 years later she apparently returns to the life to make justice. Perhaps that is not very original, but the surprising thing of this film, is that it's filmed with much elegance, with a disquieting atmosphere, in a solitary city and with tormented personages. It's a film of nostalgic horror, that remembers much to the old "giallos" and "eye" with the final turn. It's an excellent debut done with little budget, but by far talent and creativity, it surpasses many films type "slasher". It's strange to find this type of films in Latin America, is a small jewel to collect.
