Teenager Alex Winter (Sebastián Aguirre) has had a rough day, a rough week, probably a rough life as he deals with a controlling and repressive mother (Úrsula Pruneda) and that's all they have: each other, since the man of the house has left them for good, reasons unknown. All that Alex wants from his life is to spend his days having fun with his best mate (Fernando A. Ríos), drinking and getting high. Later on he's introduced to Temo (Fernando Roldán), an older figure of which is hard to figure out what's the real deal, if he's a drug dealer or arms dealer or both, and he recruits Alex after the teen loses his job at a butcher shop. And that's when trouble begins for everybody since Alex abuses a lot from the substances and he begins hallucinating with a dangerous faceless creature.

If the movie has a triumph is thanks to the leading man, a very expressive young actor who goes from somewhat timid and quite kid to the point of becoming a complete deranged character who borders insanity. Aside from him, "Alex Winter" is a crazed slow mess that doesn't reward us as an entertainment neither as an eloquent statement about complex family lives where both parts (mom and son) suffocate each other with just their presence and small acts.

There's a lot more presented there but I won't address those, maybe I'm giving you the chance to see it for yourself and see how troubled this is. Besides the "story" or scenes that just follow one another without generating interest, the cinematography and camera work is terribly dark and one has to force himself to actually see things.

Zero expectations for it, just went in out of curiosity and to kill some time (1 hour long, no worries) but at least something good or some interesting outcome could've come from this. Well, I've got nothing. 4/10.
