Claudia is a troubled teen confined in a very particular support center ruled with roughness by renowned psychiatrist Bernarda Alquicira. Coexisting with girls who have experienced similar trances, Claudia confronts horrible visions of Andrea, a beautiful intern who committed suicide a year ago. Another strange patient -Josefina- and doctor Lucia Franyutti -the right arm of Bernarda- seem to know the key to the bizarre return of Andrea, but even they are disturbed by the supernatural events that take place when the wind starts to blow.

Btexxamar I like Black Panther, but I didn't like this movie.
LouHomey From my favorite movies..
SpunkySelfTwitter It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.
Grimossfer Clever and entertaining enough to recommend even to members of the 1%
macealdonio Time passes and this movie is revealing a lot of good stuff. The acting is very strong and Danny Perea, specially, creates a beautiful and tormented character. It's very different than the original in terms of emotion and ambition and, of course, it's not perfect but nonetheless is a strong piece of cinema. Carlos Enrique Taboada's intentions of creating a love triangle in the story are finally realized; this shocked many people when the movie was released, but it was the original intention of Taboada. It seems that the movie was made with very little resources, but the director takes advantage of that and creates a very special dark and romantic mood. It has very little in common with Mexican contemporary cinema. Don't miss it.
lastliberal Having not seen the 1968 original, I will not comment on the remake in comparison. I will look at it on it's own.Martha Higareda (Smokin' Aces 2: Assassins' Ball) and Verónica Langer ("The Crime of Padre Amaro") head this primarily female cast, with a great performance by Elizabeth Valdez.The film was not really very suspenseful, and there was no horror. It was a basic ghost inhabiting a body to get revenge against the one who killed her.Outside of a few short nude scenes, there is really nothing to recommend this film.
José Paredes Although some may disagree, this remake of the 1968 cult classic by Carlos Enrique Taboada, excels the original in many ways . Gustavo Moheno does justice to the story and manages to create a very scary entertainment. The main change? While the original took place in a boarding school, this one occurs in a psychiatric asylum.One of the best scenes recreates the famous striptease done by Norma Lazareno, but while in the original this dance was extremely well choreographed loosing credibility, in the remake the sequence fluids as a very spontaneous act that follows the impulses of a group of girls that just want to have fun.In general terms the ghost story is the same as the original but with new variations that add drama to the situation. There is a beautiful scene in which Martha Higareda reveals her naked body in front of a mirror that suggests the main theme of the movie (which I'm not going to mention because it could be a spoiler).The original film was formulaic and this remake can't help using the formula as well. Nevertheless, this new version is very well done, full of fascinating stuff that blocks, to some degree, all the clichés that defined Taboada's formula.
Omar Velásquez Manzo I went to the cinemas on the premiere night hoping to watch a good re-make of the Carlos Enrique Taboada's classic "Hasta el viento tiene miedo" (even the wind is scared)... What a deception... What a loss of money and time... I paid to watch a classic horror movie remake, instead I had to bear a copy of the bad teen movie "Niñas mal" (aka. charm school, the Fernando Sariñana's movie) mixed with a Mexican soup opera and a lesbian twist... Horrible, horrible movie... The only good scenes were the T&A scenes.. The plot is the same of "Niñas mal": a bad girl with addictions and depressions going to the rehab center with another bunch of disturbed girls dealing with (you know) girly and bitchy matters... Add a ghost that doesn't scare, a two sexually insecure and repressed old ladies and bad acting, bad directing, bad photography, etc.In conclusion: Don't see it, is't an awful movie, unless you want to loss your money and your time...
