El Conde is a dark comedy/horror that imagines a parallel universe inspired by the recent history of Chile. The film portrays Augusto Pinochet, a symbol of world fascism, as a vampire who lives hidden in a ruined mansion in the cold southern tip of the continent. Feeding his appetite for evil to sustain his existence. After two hundred and fifty years of life, Pinochet has decided to stop drinking blood and abandon the privilege of eternal life. He can no longer bear that the world remembers him as a thief. Despite the disappointing and opportunistic nature of his family, he finds new inspiration to continue living a life of vital and counterrevolutionary passion through an unexpected relationship.

Critics Consensus

A darkly delirious satire rooted in real-life horror, El Conde finds Pablo Larra铆n revisiting familiar themes without losing their provocative power.

Craig Mathieson

Sydney Morning Herald

The accoutrements of power are telling -- flying in his military cape Pinochet is a fascist superhero -- and Larrain鈥檚 gory filmmaking is equally effective as historic prosecution or a macabre fantasy.

Rated: 3.5/5 •

Clarisse Loughrey

Independent (UK)

The film鈥檚 political outlook is a little fuzzy, but it bleeds pure, righteous bitterness. Larra铆n jumps at the chance to turn political ideology into a literal horror show.

Rated: 4/5 •

Breakfast All Day

Ed Lachman's cinematography is just luscious. It is just incredibly, richly beautiful in black and white.

Fort Worth Weekly

Augusto Pinochet鈥檚 dictatorship is a touchstone of Pablo Larra铆n鈥檚 films, and this black-and-white Netflix movie cleverly imagines him as a vampire who surveys the broad sweep of history through the centuries...

El est铆mulo

Augusto Pinochet and his long shadow of terror is transmuted, thanks to cinema, into a classic monster. Director Pablo Larra铆n's strategy to atone for historical horror is bold and controversial. [Full Review in Spanish]

Montevideo Portal / Latido Beat

Shows that there is no need to talk about dictatorship or oppressors and tyrants from a serious and condescending point of view. [Full review in Spanish]

It doesn't work as a vampire movie, doesn't work either as a fantasy, or political drama. Technically, it's well made, but that's it.

Uma s谩tira pol铆tica pretensiosa, bem feita mas cheia de vieses e lugares comuns.

Seria c么mico se n茫o fosse t茫o tr谩gico, tanto realismo que desconfio que esse monstros sejam mesmo vampiro, como pode tanta gente m谩 viver tantos anos (50 anos j谩茅 muito) e os bons morrem cedo... Augusto Pinochet, ditador chileno respons谩vel por 40 mil mortes, um vampiro de 250 anos em busca da morte, sobrou at茅 para Dama de Ferro, muito bom o tom sat铆rico, ir么nico, pouco divertido, poucas cores, o sangue podia ser vermelho para dar um contraste, o ritmo lento e linguajar polido cansa um tanto.

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

Carlos F

Pel铆cula que en el fondo, capta el mensaje que se quiere atribuir a la vigencia que tiene la obra de Pinochet en el pa铆s y la cultura que ha dejado. Es particularmente grotesca y nunca antes hab铆a visto algo as铆 (no necesariamente en car谩cter positivo). Buena utilizaci贸n de referentes hist贸ricos, buena actuaci贸n y escenograf铆a que caracterizaron positivamente a este filme.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars
