Magic Magic (2013)

Starring: Juno Temple, Michael Cera, Emily Browning, Catalina Sandino Moreno
Director: Sebastián Silva

Premise:
An American girl visits her cousin who is staying in Chile. They travel with a group of friends to a remote island cabin for the weekend where the situation gets strange very quickly.

My Take:
The film is feels like a missed opportunity. It's a strange one that combine an girl's unstable mental state with the atmosphere of dread and confusion. Maybe that was the point.

Rating: In the middle
