Glamorous debutante Noemí Taboada heads High Place, a sprawling mansion in the Mexican countryside, after receiving a frantic cousin from her newly-wed cousin Catalina, begging her to save her from a mysterious doom. Noemí isn't afraid of anything, especially not the house itself, which begins appearing in Noemí's dreams, along with horrifying visions that cause her to sleepwalk. Mexican Gothic ($15) explores themes of colonialism, misogynist patriarchy, and working class exploitation wrapped up inside an enigmatic house that may truly be impossible to leave.
