“The Onetti brothers have conjured a film that plunges into the depths of human depravity, intertwining political and supernatural horrors in a way that is as disturbing as it is captivating. ” Saul Muerte, Surgeons of Horror
“Fans of extreme cinema and a sin-ematic Hell will more than likely hold 1978 in high regard as one of the best extreme films of recent years.” Gary, Gamble, MovieHooker
“1978 is not just a horror film—it is a cinematic act of resistance. Luciano and Nicolás Onetti intertwine the supernatural with historical reality without turning the film into a political pamphlet, offering a profound reflection on justice and memory. ” Roro Nereus, Wicked Horror
