Once their tents are set up, the friends sit around the campfire and tell ghost stories. When it’s time for Naomi to tell a story, she recounts a legend that her Colombian grandmother had told her as a child, about a beautiful woman who was caught cheating on her husband, so he cut off her leg. She then escaped into the jungle, vowing revenge on all men for centuries to come.
To be honest, the final form of La Patasola looked a bit goofy to me, but in an 80s horror sort of way if you need an idea, you can refer to one of the two posters currently circulating online , which isn t necessarily a bad thing. I m fingers crossed for something featuring El Duende, mischievous gnome-like creatures that live inside the walls of people s homes and wreak havoc.
Regardless of its origins, the enchanted nail of magic is said to have the ability to grant the wishes of anyone who possesses it. The nail has the power to create wealth, heal the sick, and even bring the dead back to life. As such, it has become a symbol of immense power and desire.
La Patasola Curse celebs
Over the last few years a wider variety of writers and directors have been entering the horror world, and with a more diverse group of people fans of the genre get a wider variety of monsters and spookies. Director AJ Jones and writer Shaun Mathis look at the South American folklore about the female monster called La Patasola. The legend says a beautiful woman haunts the jungles of South America, looking for unfaithful men. Once La Patasola lures her prey into the wilderness, she reveals herself to be a hideous one-legged monster and kills her victim. The story sounds amazing with a lot of possibilities for some creepy scenes. However, the story originates from South America, so any retellings of the tale should involve South American settings and characters. THE CURSE OF LA PATASOLA borders on some well-developed craftsmanship but using American characters (in what appears to be an American setting) to explore a South American folk tale seems overused and unnecessary.
The opening segment of a horror movie frequently relies on a cold opening, which involves a quick death of unnamed characters. The purpose of this portion of the movie serves as a means to set the tone and to briefly introduce the dangers which will soon befall the main characters of the film. However, the cold opening of THE CURSE OF LA PATASOLA does not do much to set up the story. In fact, all we learn is that in the 19th century in South Colombia, after a couple clandestinely makes out in the woods, the man gets attacked.
After the vague prologue, the story then focuses on two couples in the present day as they embark on a camping trip. It takes just a few seconds for the audience to learn that both couples are terrible. Daniel (AJ Jones) keeps arguing with Naomi (Najah Bradley) about how women need the patriarchy. Daniel’s loyal wife Sarah (Gillie Jones) tries to just make nice and probably the most likable character, James (Patrick R. Walker) barely exists. Daniel and Naomi both come off as overbearing and even demeaning to their significant others and really anyone else around them.
Supposedly James and Daniel are best friends, but neither their relationship nor their relationship with Sarah and Naomi seem believable. If the atmosphere in the car wasn’t tense enough, then the spooky forest surrounding the four people increasingly grows more ominous as the sun beings to set. A stiff park ranger warns the car-load of people about a large number of incidents in the area but does little to actually stop the four (obviously inexperienced) travelers as they venture to Bear Lake armed only with a flare fun.
Later around a campfire, Naomi shares the legend of La Patasola and earns more mockery and assholery from Daniel. Why is Sarah married to this guy? What is his motivation to constantly be a jerk? Jones and Mathias must have wanted a character who embodies toxic masculinity, but they went a bit overboard in making such a terrible character.
For La Patasola to appear, a person needs to cheat, so the story requires a cheater. Two couples alone in the woods become four people not happy with their relationships. The forty minutes of character development all so the story can include two people cheating seems really drawn out. Plus, the relationship fights take so long any tension created at the campfire scene becomes buried under Lifetime movie situations.
Overall, THE CURSE OF LA PATASOLA is a low-budget film exploring particular folklore coming from South America. The biggest issue with the film comes from the director’s inability to maintain a consistent tone of the level of suspense throughout the film. Some segments offer dark and spooky runs through the forest, but the viewer must sit through some really long and bland segments to get to anything spooky. The actors did the best they could, but the characters existed only as archetypes who rely on clichés for all of their decisions.
THE CURSE OF LA PATASOLA is now available across streaming media and other platforms.
Marking the directorial debut of actor/writer AJ Jones (Lovecraft Country), with a story co-created by Jones and Florida native Daniela Gonzalez (Frenemies) and a screenplay co-written with Shaun Mathis (The Plug), the film also stars Luciana Faulhaber (Shades of Blue), Patrick R. Walker (The Resident) Najah Bradley (Black Box) and Gillie Jones (Welcome to Flatch), who makes her feature film debut. Gonzalez, Jack Young (The Perfect Race), and Mark Pettit (True Detective) round out the cast of La Patasola.
Legends surrounding the enchanted nail of magic often revolve around its discovery and the trials and tribulations that one must endure to obtain it. It is said to be hidden deep within a treacherous labyrinth, guarded by mythical creatures and dangerous traps. Only the most skilled and courageous individuals are able to navigate the labyrinth and claim the nail for themselves. However, the power of the enchanted nail of magic does not come without consequence. Many cautionary tales warn of the dangers of using its power for personal gain. It is said that those who become too consumed by their desires and use the nail without caution will suffer terrible consequences. Despite these warnings, many still seek out the enchanted nail of magic, believing that they can harness its power for good. Wizards and sorcerers dedicate their lives to the pursuit of the nail, hoping to use its power to protect and benefit the world around them. In conclusion, the enchanted nail of magic is a legendary object that holds immense power and is coveted by those who seek to wield magic. Its ability to grant wishes and its mysterious origins make it a symbol of desire and power. However, one must always use its power with caution, as the consequences of abusing its abilities can be dire..
