Death is no stranger to Bernardo, his wife Estella and his stepdaughter Irina, seeing as they run a funeral parlor. But lifeless bodies are one thing, and the spirits wandering around the place, obliging the family to delimit the spaces in their home where they can walk through, are quite another. Most of them are gloomy but harmless presences, until it becomes clear one day that there is something lurking in the shadows that genuinely wants to hurt them... (Sitges Film Festival)

The responses abroad are (for the time being) positive, but I have very mixed feelings about it. Ojeda has made a clear effort to build an atmosphere, even though the setting in a funeral home conspires against it, but it didn’t work on me. I felt it was dead and stiff, which is fitting given the premise, but I don’t mean it as praise. The cinematography is jerky, the actors only stand like planks and the script delivers one lifeless dialogue after another. In other words, The Undertaker's Home felt somewhat semi-amateurish in many aspects. As a debut, it can be appreciated as an OK attempt, but it needs to be honed next time.
