Saw this at the Amsterdam documentary festival IDFA when it came out.
This movie makes for a lot of laughs as it tells an endearing story of superstition as part of small town life in rural Argentina.
Through terrific editing together of personal accounts of local residents, as well as a wedding ceremony, I was made to feel a lot of love for the people in this story.

Plot summary
In a remote town of Argentina, home remedies replace traditional medicine. All diseases are treated by the villagers except a mortal fear known as espanto, the dread. This rare illness can only be cured by an old man who very few dares to visit. The Dread is an investigative human interest documentary stuffed with strong humour and outstanding protagonists.
