Spoiler Alert: This article contains spoilers about "Rosario", which is now available in the theater.

"Rosario" from the theater released by Mucho Mas now has several signs of traditional dark magic movies: there are ghostly characters, body horror and creepy hands emerging from the darkness. But writer Alan Trezza comes to deeper ideas when writing this story.

Emeraude Toubia plays the title character, a businesswoman who feels inconvenient when she has to lean on her grandmother’s body that she just posted in her apartment when she has to be inclined to wait for an ambulance. Health workers are late due to the huge storm in New York City - Trezza pays tribute to the early stages of the pandemic when the bodies of family members were trapped inside for a long time as health workers were tied up. Once inside the apartment, Rosario had to deal with a creepy neighbor (David Dastmalchian) and realized that her grandmother seemed to be summoning some heavy magic that could impact her growth journey, succeeding.

Rosario's world is the city's anonymous grey skyscraper, but her grandmother's home is filled with symbols of her Mexican culture, even dark corners with evidence of witchcraft. Trezza said he wanted to deliberately show the arguments about immigration and assimilation. Given that he was an immigrant child and his wife was Mexican-American, he evoked his own upbringing.

“Getting someone to achieve this in the United States, to realize the American dream, sometimes it’s more than just sacrificing their own time,” he said. “Sometimes it’s sacrificing their own identity. I want to explore what someone needs to sacrifice from another country to realize the American dream: sometimes their family roots, sometimes their culture and race. So many times people feel the need to change their names, change their appearance, change their ways, change their speech, just step on to success under that leadership.”

Trezza wants to avoid frequent discussions about art like Santería and Voodoo while studying the dark magic that emerges through her family. Instead, he focused on Palo Mayombe's religion.

"The benefits of people using it, they also use it for bad things," he said. "Some people pray for health and well-being, but some people use it for evil means. In my research, Mexican drug cartels often choose it. They took it to the extreme and practiced the sacrifice of human beings for wealth to protect dea. There are still many American students on vacation in Mexico who were kidnapped and later found in the hands of drug cartels who were suspected of sacrificing Palo Membi's god for humanity."

As Rosario gets to know her family more and more, she also faces fears that if it were a regular haunted house movie that would be tracked as a typical night ghost. However, as the film progresses, she realizes that the horrible moments she has experienced show the horrible horrors her family faces, a time of danger and uncertainty that is more terrifying than any ghost. Trezza said these fears are not empty, but are connected to the central theme, which is crucial, which gives them real horror.

“As a lifelong fan of horror movies, the most effective panic means a lot to them,” he said. “They have some theme, some symbolic meaning. Since it’s a movie about dealing with immigration experiences, I said, ‘What better way than to make these immigrants every day trying to make themselves the horror of the horror, horror and real death of this story.”

The storytelling injected culture opens up Trezza's imagination, who says he has written another script: "Someone uses magic to heal people."

"It's exploring the good aspects of magic - white magic and black magic," Trezza said. "This deals with white magic again, and it's also the theme of our character escaping her past and using her special skills to get rid of some very evil people who use this magic brand but do damage."

Ultimately, Trezza is happy to write the material in a way that can satisfy the audience that is relevant to the audience and people who only know the culture.

“Mexican culture, Latino culture, is full of incredible stories, incredible themes and incredible people,” he said.
