Review

On The Fence

It’s Weird and Disjointed, But Not Entertaining

While there is a certain creep factor in Huella, this is interlaced with notable dance sequences and a random jump into Leonora’s past. All of which leaves you with a strange, sometimes disjointed story that you get comes from a curse on Leonora’s family, but it may feel like you are missing essential details for everything to come together.

Overall

Our Rating: Mixed (Divisive)

By no means is Huella bad. More so it just lacks the type of cohesiveness needed to get into it. For while, as individual pieces, you can appreciate Daniela jumping into her grandmother’s past, the horror element, and the dancing, together they seem barely connected and leave you scratching your head.
