2.5/5
Cold Storage (2026) Samantha Schuster This blend of biological horror, dark comedy, and survival thriller doesn't always work, despite a cast that tries to overcome its tonal issues. It's a zombie film that will keep you entertained, but not much more. [Full Review in Spanish]

The Voice of Hind Rajab (2025) Samantha Schuster It's a valuable film that tells a personal story but serves to illustrate the theme.
