- In Iquitos, sellouts led cinemas to add new showtimes to meet demand.
- Viewers praised the tension and performances, and positive chatter is helping the film hold screens nationwide.
- The film is directed by Javi Velásquez, based on his own novel, and blends an urban mystery with Amazonian folklore in a story set and filmed in Iquitos.
