fleeno 's review for:
Silver Nitrate
by Silvia Moreno-Garcia
Montserrat works as a part-time audio engineer while ahe cares for her sister who has cancer. Her best friend Tristán is an aging actor who has been blacklisted after a car wreck claimed the life of his famous girlfriend. Their fortune seems to change when they discover legendary filmmaker Abel Urueta living in Tristán’s building. The infamous director has become convinced his unfinished film (made with a nazi sorcerer) is cursed and Montserrat and Tristán are needed to help reverse the curse. The spell leads to supernatural and unintended consequences as Montserrat and Tristán are drawn into a world of magic, movies, and Aryans moonlighting in Mexico.
The set up for the story was really interesting, I loved the plot of the cursed film, occultism, and fleeing nazis. Both Montserrat and Tristán are great characters, flawed, struggling, affectionate and thorny towards each other in the way of lifelong friends. There were some scary moments but it was a slow paced story and I could have done with a few more jump scares.
