Jim's Review
🐛
Gothic horror meets 1950s Mexico and Jim is absolutely here for it. Noemi is the fierce protagonist horror needs — she shows up in heels and refuses to take nonsense from creepy English aristocrats. The body horror in the back half had this worm squirming in the best possible way. Moreno-Garcia proves that the haunted mansion trope still has plenty of dark corners left to explore.
