A caring father is teaching his daughter how to drive. All seems well until the lesson swiftly become dark and gruesome. La Cruz is not your typical horror film. It does not feature supernatural characters or even contain an excessive amount of blood. The lack of typical horror features in this film adds to its effect making it all the more hair raising.
Initially the story of a father wanting to spend more time with his daughter against his ex-wife’s wishes, the quick change in the tone and pace gets audiences from relaxed in their chairs to the edge of their seat.
