‘Rosario’ Draws Its Terror From the ‘Horrors and Real Life Death’ of the Migrant Experience: Mexicans Are Expected to Sacrifice Their ‘Own Identity’


"Rosario," a new horror movie, evokes the terror and uncertainty of the migrant experience Mexicans can face when coming to American.

The paramedics are running late due to a huge storm in New York City — Trezza’s nod to the early days of the pandemic, when family members’ bodies were trapped inside for long stretches because healthcare workers were so tied up. Once inside the apartment, Rosario has to deal with a creepy neighbor (David Dastmalchian) and the realization that her grandmother seemed to be conjuring some heavy magic, which could have shaped her journey in growing up to be a success. While Rosario’s world is the anonymous and monied grey skyscrapers of the city, her grandmother’s home is filled with symbols of her Mexican culture — even the dark corners with evidence of witchcraft.
