I'm not familiar with Argentine urban legends, perhaps if you are the film as a whole makes more sense, as it is the film feels very disjointed and unresolved, which is a shame as it is very well shot and the actors are all great.
A couple of the five short storys do combine, sort of, but not all and so when it ends it just seems a bit unresolved and disappointing. I did enjoy the film but it was basically like watching several well made disjointed scenes from an unfinished film.
Plot summary
While most of the residents of a small Argentinian town attend a funeral procession following a tragic building collapse, the few who do not will face terrors of their own in this mashup of urban legends from brother- filmmakers Sebastián and Federico Rotstein. Think bondage, torture, zombies...and governmental corruption. Juan goes on a date with Sonia to a school where students get even with teachers. Luco and Paulo create an elaborate plan to swap girlfriends. Two lovers escape into a motel for a night of passion, while a group of friends enjoys a snuff film. As their primal urges distract them all, local officials are judged innocent of the neglect that caused the building collapse-and then the horror really begins.

It is a bit of a mess overall which is a shame as each part of the story we see is interesting and well directed.
5/10 for a movie that stuck halfway in every aspect
It's not horror, it's not porn (unnecessary sex scenes),it's not even bizarre, it's something uncomfortable in between.
If somebody sells you this film like a horror version of the great "Wild Tales" (2014),he/she is lying to you and insulting your intelligence. The director attempt to connect five different stories together fails in every possible level and that's a shame, because the idea behind had a big potential to achieve much more.
The movie is visually good for a low-budget project. The acting is not outstanding but acceptable.
Although "Terror 5" lasts —luckily— over an hour I saw people who got up and walked angrily away from the theater.
Avoid this turd
Nothing scary here-if you love horror anthologies like I do, dodge this at all costs. There literally is nothing going on throughout this movie but a bunch of talking and some annoying moron dressed up like he's in KISS. Really boring.
