Somewhere in the future, the simple life of Bacurau is interrupted by the death of one of its matriarchs and a series of mysterious events including the village disappearing from the map.
A film with a natural unfolding and quite an unusual setting for the horror genre. Divided into two parts, the first presents the simple life of an isolated village where all members are like a family that has to live through familiar geo-political realities (political corruption, difficult access to natural resources). Aware that the film is supposed to be a horror, the audience is not bothered that nothing like it takes place in this first half, which is accompanied by a soundtrack full of pleasant sounds and rhythms, purely Brazilian, and a significantly large group of ordinary and simple people in natural situations. The second half begins with suddenly raising questions, as unexplained events take place quickly and new strange characters are introduced at a much faster pace while the film still keeps its natural tone. What follows is liked to current human realities, where simple life and the people who choose it are considered inferior, including by some of those belonging to that same group. The instinct for survival should never be underestimated, whatever the circumstances.
