Siete cabritos y el lobo: A weird little trip to the woods

Is this worth a watch?

Honestly, it depends on how much you like fables. If you're looking for a high-octane thriller, keep walking. You'll probably hate this if you need constant movement or modern CGI. But if you're the type who likes old-school storytelling and don't mind a bit of a lull, you might find something here.

Roberto A. Morales is doing a lot of heavy lifting here. There’s a scene where the wolf is just… standing there. Waiting. It goes on for about 40 seconds too long, and I started wondering if the projector had frozen or if he just forgot his lines. It felt like an eternity, but in a way that made the wolf feel oddly *bored* rather than scary.

The forest looks… very forest-y

The set design is charmingly low-budget. You can tell they were working with what they had, and there’s a certain intimacy to the trees that reminded me of The Rider of the Law. Not that they are the same kind of movie, obviously. Just that feeling of a production that knows its limits.

• The goat costumes are something else entirely.
• The dialogue is sparse, almost like they forgot to write half the script.
• I’m still thinking about the way the light hits the floor in the kitchen scene.

The whole thing has this grainy, tactile feeling. It doesn't look like a shiny product from a studio. It feels like a project someone actually cared about, even if the result is a bit of a mess. It’s not as slick as Olympia, but it has a pulse.

There’s a moment near the middle where one of the goats just looks directly into the camera. Not in a breaking-the-fourth-wall way, just… vacant. I laughed harder than I should have. It’s those little, stupid details that make me glad I sat through the slower parts. 🐐

It’s a strange little movie. It’s not trying to be a masterpiece. It just wants to tell you about some goats and a wolf. Sometimes that’s enough, I guess. Just don't go in expecting to be blown away.
