2006 ·1h 43m · ★ 6.1 (154)

While driving through the kilometer 31 of a lonely road, Agata Hameran hits a boy. She leaves her car to help the victim and another car runs over her and she falls in a deep coma. Her twin sister Catalina telepathically feels the pain of Agata and hears her whispering for help. Together with her boyfriend Nuno and Agata's mate Omar, they return to the km 31 of the road, and find out that the place is surrounded by supernatural accidents caused by the ghost of a mother that lost her boy many years ago. Further, Catalina discloses that the spirit of Agata is trapped between the worlds of the living and the dead.

Why it matters

A chilling dive into Mexican folk horror that blends twin telepathy with restless spirits to haunt a cursed stretch of road.

  • Rooted in regional myth, KM 31 taps into the folk horror vein with a uniquely Mexican spectral mother seeking vengeance.
  • Twin sisters connected beyond the grave add a psychological depth rarely seen in mid-2000s supernatural horror.
  • Practical effects and atmospheric rural settings evoke a creeping dread reminiscent of classics like The Ring and The Grudge.
  • Fans of slow-burn hauntings and culturally specific ghost stories will find a rich vein here, despite some pacing unevenness.
