comment
Tigers Are Not Afraid (Spanish: Vuelven) is a 2017 Mexican crime horror film directed by Issa Lopez.Estrella is a 10-year-old girl living in the violent streets of Mexico. After being given three pieces of chalk that grant one wish each, she wishes for her mother to come Back from the Dead. The chalk works, but it does so by making her spirit into an undead abomination that follows Estrella wherever she goes. Our heroine ends up joining a gang to distract herself from the horror, but soon she learns that some things are scarier than ghosts...

The Sociopath
 Tigers Are Not Afraid / int_19851b86
comment
The Sociopath: El Chino, a politician who leads a brutal cartel that deals drugs and Human Trafficking. He shows no real regard for anybody, executes his own men when it suits him, and can't even feign kindness when he's letting people live, instead simply acting completely indifferent to them once they meet his ends.

Be Careful What You Wish For: Any wish the chalk grants has a terrible side effect. Estrella wishing for her mother to come back summons her ghost, wishing to not have to murder Caco makes her find him dead of unrelated causes, and wishing for Shine's scar to disappear leads to El Chino shooting him in the face.
