I Am Toxic

Soy tóxico

2018 ·1h 21m · ★ 4.5 (23)

Province of Buenos Aires, Argentina, 2101. The world has been ravaged by a biological warfare. A man wakes up in the desert, unable to remember anything of his previous life.

Why it matters

A bleak dive into post-apocalyptic despair where amnesia and biohazards collide in a desolate Argentine wasteland.

  • Latin American sci-fi horror rarely this raw—grounds global fears of biological warfare in local terrain and aesthetics.
  • Stark desert landscapes amplify isolation and mutant menace, with practical effects that lean into gritty decay over polish.
  • Fans of body horror and memory-loss narratives will find familiar dread refracted through a dystopian lens.
  • Not for those craving clear answers—its fragmented storytelling demands patience but rewards with unsettling atmosphere.
