O Mensageiro das Trevas (2000)

The Radar read

A quieter title still finding its audience, though the rating rests on a thin sample, so treat it as provisional.

Synopsis

A group of scouts set out to camp in a cursed forest, where an ancient legend tells of Boni Coveiro, an evil spirit that haunts the place. One of the team members, obsessed with solving the story told by his grandparents, performs a satanic ritual with the aim of summoning and controlling the supposed cursed entity. However, little did he know that the legend was true, and that his disbelief would lead him to awaken the fury of a demonic being thirsty for revenge. From that moment on, terrible deaths begin to occur among the team members, with nothing they can do to stop the massacre.

Radar blends quality, momentum and freshness into one “what to watch now” number — so a great older film can sit lower than a rising new release. The Quality signal above is the time-neutral rating, which is why an acclaimed classic keeps a high quality score even when its Radar number is lower. Radar outputs are editorial algorithmic recommendations, not objective facts, and may change as signals update. A Radar score is not the same as a TMDB, IMDb or critic rating.
