Movie: Blood Curse (Coisa Ruim) (2006)

Blood Curse (Coisa Ruim) (2006) is a Portuguese supernatural horror movie. 

Synopsis: A successful biology professor Xavier Monteiro (Adriano Luz) moves to rural Portugal with his family - his wife Helena (Manuela Couto), eldest son Rui (José Afonso Pimentel), daughter Sofia (Sara Carinhas), youngest son Ricardo (João Santos), and their grandson (Sofia's son) after inheriting a huge house from his ancestors.

Being an intellectual family, they are not prepared to what they are going to face when they discover the country's community has many hidden and disturbing secrets where superstition still runs rampant. They begin to hear disturbing stories about the history of their inherited house.

There are a few things about Spanish and Portuguese supernatural movies. They are usually atmospheric thrillers, slow-paced, causes slow-rising tension, and with truly creepy moments here and there. You won't be seeing too much blood and gore because they are usually not slashers or torture flicks.

Also, there will be heavy nuances of outdated Catholic traditions, especially those related to exorcism, chants, superstitions, and of course, the devil. And usually, the movie is shot in lavishly beautiful and breathtaking rural landscape with magnificent structures. This is true with this movie.

Another similar movie is a Spanish supernatural thriller - The Appeared (Aparecidos).

So, if you want to watch something that gives you creeps and jolts, you might want to watch this movie.
