Wonderful character development!

Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.

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.

I use this rough phrase when I think it's only necessary. I'm Mexican, and I strongly recommend my fellow Mexican IMDb reviewers to not support this kind of BAD Horror movies ONLY because we live in the same country. If we support low quality movies, it means we can accept mediocre products such as this unnecessary remake. That's my call, I don't understand why it has generated bad responses from other users (although I was given 2 useful user opinions). Trust in me, I'm a an expert when it comes to Mexican Horror cinema. We deserve better Horror movies, for the sake of Carlos Enrique Taboada's memory. The Director and creator of the original "Hast El Viento Tiene Miedo".My problems with this movie are various: Why in the first time remake a Horror classic? I mean, what's behind the remake of a PERFECT Horror movie?, Probably the best Horror movie in the history of Mexican Cinema. I don't have intentions to denigrate the work of the people involved in the movie, but, in terms of Horror cinema, remakes are not always the best option.I can't find a logical answer for this remake.To be honest, I didn't watch this on theaters because I felt it betrayed my loyalty towards the 1968 Carlos Enrique Taboada's masterpiece. Second, because the cast sent me signals that it was to be a sequel to "Niñas Mal", and third, because I knew it was going to take little time for it to get on DVD or even on local t.v. Well it took only a year for it to be featured in local t.v. When I finally watched it, I asked myself "was this shot on handycam?". Not because of the atrocious cinematography and art direction, also because of the dull direction, wooden acting, and painful meant-to-be-important sequences. The shock situations attempts were just plain bad.This is a terrible horror movie that does not even feature mystery, suspense, or a solid plot. Heck, it even copies correctly the creepy ghost story from the original.The actresses seemed to be only having fun at the cost of a legendary ghost movie. Higareda is sexy and pretty but her talent won't be measured for her nudity level, she gotta understand it. That's a positive criticism. To be concrete, this is the worst remake by far in Mexican Horror. Please avoid it at all costs and my advice as a die hard Mexican Horror fan is to stick with the original.

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...

I've just recently saw a preview of this film in the distributor's little theater. It's a peculiar film; not bad, very atypical for the Mexican industry, with serious flaws but also great moments and incredible acting.Although is a remake of a cult classical Mexican film, the story takes quite a detour from the original. It intrigued me because it tries desperately to be very commercial and very artistic at the same time.The premise is basic horror stuff -a suicide anorexic girl is confined in a psychiatric center haunted by a ghost-, and curiously enough, in a few minutes I was completely immersed not in the supernatural side of the story, but in the profoundly human interaction that the plot manages to establish between the characters.Some aspects of the movie are kind of cheap (al least in front of the budgetary standards established by the pyrotechnical Mexican horror film "Km 31"), but the cast is so great that you forget the economical restraints of the piece.Mexican actress and -believe me- next Hollywood star Martha Higareda, looks and acts very different from her previous roles (she was always the good looking girl next door), while Danny Perea -the girl from Duck Season-, makes quite an impression as the disturbed and beautiful Josefina, a character that is begging to have her own movie.I don't have a clue of what are going to think the fans of the original movie, but I can say this: be prepared for a big surprise. You can like it or not, but the movie doesn't leave you indifferent. You really care for this characters... And, by the way, the music of the movie is really beautiful.
