I have to admit I shut this off halfway through because I just could not any more. Everything in the movie up till the point I turned it off was cliche laden, boring crap and I called the ending even though I didn't see the ending. Don't waste your time with this movie.

I can't find a film that entertains and scares me. I didn't expect much from this one. It wasn't scary but it kept me entertained. It was better than a lot of American over CGI'd and overacted movies but with the usual flIckering lights and jump scare tactics Overall better than some famous so called horror films.

An interesting movie as the script is different,and the actors and the child artists are also good..there is a good suspense mood

Imagine a bad cook trying to make hearty soup. Get everything in your kitchen and chuck it into a pot and imagine it will turn out ok. What you get is every cliche of every horror film you've ever seen thrown together with a weak narrative. Sadly boring and un-engaging.

Boring and useless, incredibly lame. The plot is nothing new and the acting is subpar. Stopped watching midway because I couldn't care less about it.

My first time to write an Imdb review. Don't waste your time. What is the source of evil? Is it the mother ? Her things? The house ? The sisters? There is too much going on here. So dumb.

This movie is not bad by any means, i dont get the low ratings at all. I almost skipped it because of said ratings but am glad i didnt. Maybe its because people watches a dubbed version but this is 2019 no reason to do that. maybe its because im into witchcraft and the occult so it appealed to me more than the average viewer. Either way they really captured the dark feeling of mexican witchcraft (which in my opinion) is much darker and "scarier" then todays americanized version which is more akin to cheesy hollywood pointy hats and love spells then real witchcraft but i digress the influence is basically a south american version of heriditary (also a great movie) and usually after seeing 2 movies so similar in content as close together i cant help but to dislike the later simply because i saw the other first but thats not the case with these two. i liked both movies quite well and have no doubt ill revisit this one again. ignore the negative ratings, i imagine most of those are coming from kids of the instant gratification generation anyways all in all this was a very decent movie

There should be a penalty for the release of this kind of movie. Really. No joke! Bad acting, bad storyline, bad lighting... My boyfriend gave up after 50 minutes. I finished watching it some days later because... you know... I probably have mental illness.

The nurse Alicia (Manuela Vellés) is summoned by her sister Sara (Maggie Civantos) and returns to the dark house of her mother Victoria (Emma Suárez) with her husband, the unemployed electrician Mikel (Alain Hernández), and their ten year-old daughter Nora (Claudia Placer). Alicia and Victoria have been estranged to each other for many years and now Victoria is terminal in comatose and Alicia will help the nurse Ana (Marta Castellote). Alicia has recollections from her abused childhood, when Sara and she were maltreated and controlled by her mother in rituals of witchcraft. Mikel finds a room with witchcraft objects and occult books that belong to Victoria, shows to his wife and they keep it locked. Soon Nora communicates with Victoria and changes her behavior, befriend the creepy outcast girl Luna (Daniela Rubio) and Alicia realizes that her daughter in under control of the witch Victoria. "La influencia", a.k.a. "The Influence", is a creepy horror film developed in slow pace like most of the European movies. The atmosphere is dark and gruesome, the performances are great but the story becomes predictable when the lawyer reads the testament. The screenplay could be better but the underrated "La influencia" is a good horror film. My vote is six. Title (Brazil): Not Available

After the success of devils backbone, orphanage, julias eyes. We got a wave of spanish copycats. Just like hollywood the past 10 years had been remaking, reharshing the same stuff over and over again. With no thoughts behind it. All of these horror movies are exactly the same. Super cheap scares, ugly filters, bad cgi effects. Bad acting, pointless and confucing dialogue. Always a ghost hag that's never frightening. The house at end of time, veronica, animas, no dormiras, la cara occulta etc.
