Amelia's Children (Movie)

[Machine Translation] "Family was the most horrific curse. Don't touch them. Don't get too close. This is a sanity-destroying ONIBABA horror. The chains of inescapable destiny now begin to creak noisily. Ed, a young man living in New York City, receives a DNA kit for his birthday, which leads him to discover his "family" that was once lost, and the existence of his "other self" - his twin brother Manuel. In search of the truth, he and his girlfriend Riley arrive at an old mansion deep in the forests of Portugal. There they find sealed childhood memories, traces of a kidnapping, and a sinister blood-related tradition that still lives there. At the mansion, they are greeted by Amelia, the mother who reigns as a mysterious ruler, and Manuel, her son who loves and obeys his mother with all his heart. A "family ritual" that is out of the ordinary. Blood is a bond, but at the same time it is also a curse... The chains of fate that cannot be escaped now begin to creak noisily. Darkness and madness intertwine in this 91-minute film. When your "veins" open the door, there is no more home to return to.

*Rated 12-and-over.
