I found this film to be unique in the shots and directing style, which is what hooked me in. It has a creepy aspect to it that I can only feel is due to the way the directors manifested the feeling they want to provoke. I would compare it to a Lynch film - not in weirdness - but the unsettling and dreamlike way he does it.

This is my first review so I'm not the best at describing it, but since I hadn't seen a user review here I felt it deserves one.

After the mysterious death of a local shepherd. A remote village is overcome with fear as talk spreads of an ancient treasure hidden away in the hills where the body was found.

Lovecraft vibes (mainly Color of out Space) seeps from this Peruvian enigmatic drama - 'The Light on the Hill', especially in the promising, and richly layered first-half. Atmospheric locations, and a lingering sense of unease are wasted on an encroaching mystery that ends on a mundane revelation when compared to where it might have headed. Maybe I was just disappointed by its grounded denouncement, and a shifting focus from possibly eerie supernatural interference / superstitious fear as more of a facade to hide something much closer to home - human traits of greed and deception. So it surprised me. Not a bad film, just left me unsatisfied. Although the horror tag is very misleading.
