No Me Sigas (2025) Review – International Blumhouse Horror Fails to Impress
No Me Sigas: Quick Verdict
The TL;DR: No Me Sigas (2025) is a familiar social media horror film that marks a historic milestone as the first-ever Blumhouse movie produced entirely outside of the US. Streaming for free on YouTube, the film features a surprisingly solid first half. Carla’s pursuit of viral stardom provides a logical excuse for her staying in danger, and the grimy setting builds a decent amount of tension. Unfortunately, the second half completely derails. The narrative devolves into a messy, predictable cacophony of loud jump scares, terrible CGI, and rampant low-budget tropes. Attempting to balance a standard ghost story with a muddled commentary on the perils of viral fame and relationship drama, it finishes with a plot-hole-riddled climax that is bound to leave seasoned genre purists disappointed.
Details: Directors: Ximena García Lecuona, Eduardo Lecuona | Cast: Karla Coronado, Yankel Stevan Yankel Stevan, Diego Álvarez | Runtime: Approx. 89 Minutes | Release Date: October 30th 2025 | Where to Watch: YouTube (Free to Stream)
Best For: Highly casual horror fans or viewers who enjoy the livestreaming/vlogger horror aesthetic and want a low-stakes, accessible option to watch for free on YouTube.
Worth Noting: While the concept felt highly fresh back when pioneer films like Death of a Vlogger arrived in 2019, the “haunted livestreamer” trope has been thoroughly beaten to death by 2026. No Me Sigas offers absolutely nothing original to separate itself from hundreds of similar facsimiles.
Did You Know: This movie capped off an exhausting, all-night 24-hour horror movie marathon fueled by specialised gaming supplements. By the time the final half-hour rolled around, the film’s heavy narrative padding made it an uphill battle to avoid falling asleep.
Is It Scary: Only initially. The directors lean heavily into a “horror 101” playbook, relying on basic spooky shadows and sudden loud noises. While these tactics manage to supply basic tension for the first 45 minutes, they quickly turn exhausting, repetitive, and entirely predictable by the climax.
Rating: 2.5/5 Stars
(A historic international Blumhouse milestone that starts with a competent, atmospheric setup before collapsing into a mountain of lazy clichés.)
Welcome to Knockout Horror. Today we are checking out 2025 social media horror movie No Me Sigas. This is the first Blumhouse movie to ever be produced outside of the US. It released just before Halloween 2025 and I am very late to the party. You can actually find this free to stream on YouTube and, to be honest, it’s worth a go but temper your expectations.

I Missed This One
I’m a really big fan of checking out international horror. The absolute abundance of films coming from the US tends to get a bit stale, after a while. You see the same ideas recycled over and over so it’s nice to see what the rest of the world is doing with the horror genre. It’s not an uncommon occurrence that you will find some properly brilliant films like Heresy.
“No Me Sigas is definitely not original but it does do quite a lot right; well, initially it does, at least.”
I missed No Me Sigas completely, though. As an indie horror website run by literally one person, what’s current and trending comes second to what I happen to watch that week. Sometimes it’s easier to bring my readers hidden gems, as and when I find them, to cut through the noise created by other big releases.
So, is No Me Sigas one such hidden gem? Well, not really. It’s more of a dusty piece of cubic zirconia found in the bottom of a drawer. The story follows aspiring social media personality Carla (Karla Coronado) as she moves into a supposedly haunted apartment building. Hoping to gain fame and followers by documenting her experience, Carla ends up finding much more than she bargained for.
That’s a tale as old as the late 2010s when it comes to recent, low-budget horror; we have absolutely every trope covered, here. Carla is a social media personality in a scary location who is planning to stream her haunted happenings in hopes of gaining a YouTube silver play button. Horror filmmakers have been rolling this exact same story out for the past ten years.
Back in 2019 when movies like Death of a Vlogger hit our screens, this felt like a pretty original concept, but in 2026, and hundreds of facsimile releases later, it’s old news. No Me Sigas is definitely not original but it does do quite a lot right; well, initially it does, at least.
It’s familiar but it works… at first
There’s nothing groundbreaking here but the first half of the movie is pretty solid. Carla is likeable enough and, in this modern age, her pursuit of online fame makes for a logical take off point for the spooky stuff that follows.
“It’s no surprise to see the directors reaching for horror tropes over and over. Expect loud noise, spooky shadows, and jump scares galore.”
There’s always that conundrum in horror – why do characters stick around when the situation turns dangerous? Well, with No Me Sigas, Carla knows that the frights equal followers so she is willing to dive head first into some pretty scary situations.
The location is suitably grimy, too. It’s an old apartment building with a sordid past and it really does look like somewhere you would rather avoid. So far, so good. The first half of the movie does feature some rather terrible CGI but it’s not a huge hindrance to the enjoyment. It’s more just a product of the budget but I would much prefer directors avoid it all together.
No Me Sigas is a collaborative effort on both writing and directing between Ximena García Lecuona and Eduardo Lecuona. Neither have much of a pedigree in genre films so it’s no surprise to see them reaching for horror tropes over and over. Expect loud noise, spooky shadows, and jump scares galore.
It’s nothing overly abrasive and the tension is present enough to justify the frequent dips into the horror 101 bag. The first 45 minutes, or so, are generic but they work fine. There’s enough to keep you interested and the scares don’t feel particularly forced. That’s where the positives end, unfortunately.
And then it’s all downhill
The second half devolves into the exact type of generic horror crap you would expect to see from a low-budget film with the Blumhouse branding all over it like a hideous canker sore.
“I think most genre fans will be disappointed by how the movie falls apart in the second half.”
The tropes that were already fairly frequent early on suddenly become rampant. Carla’s decision making is increasingly wild, the scares are more predictable, and the plot digs elbow deep into silliness.
Carla begins to unravel as her newfound online fame begins to seem like a bit of a double edged sword and that’s when things get really weird. There’s always been the question of whether she is faking the footage but these things, at least through our eyes, are very clearly happening.
With that in mind, it really doesn’t work when those questions are posed to viewer themselves. We are supposed to question Carla while having seen the events through her eyes and in unaltered form through her video cameras. It makes no sense and all feels a bit confused.
The aesthetics take a bit of a turn in the second half, too. All of a sudden, the shot is frequently near pitch black. On my well configured mini-led television it wasn’t a huge problem, but taking screenshots on a standard Samsung Odyssey monitor, it’s very noticeable.
It spreads itself too thin
It’s almost like No Me Sigas wants to be a couple of different things and, as a result, it spreads itself too thin. On one hand it’s a basic horror movie, while on another it is a commentary on the perils of viral fame. It even delves into fractured friendships, relationship drama, and matters of partner deception for awhile there. All while continuously upping the pace of ghostly goings on.
Again, there is a distinct desire here to ask that age old horror question of whether what you are seeing is real or the product of an unreliable narrator but, honestly, it’s hard to really care. There’s so many plot holes later on that it’s tough to tie it altogether in any real meaningful way.
This movie came at the end of an all night 24 hour horror marathon that you can read about here and the final half an hour proved to be tough sledding. My attention drifted and I spent the rest of the film fighting off the urge to sleep.
If you have a very high tolerance for horror tropes and silliness, you might find something to enjoy but I think most genre fans will be disappointed by how the movie falls apart in the second half.
The Good
- Atmospheric Urban Setting: The old apartment complex is wonderfully grimy and genuinely unsettling, providing a perfect backdrop for an urban ghost story.
- Likeable Protagonist Motivation: Karla Coronado turns in a competent performance as Carla, whose logical desperation for viral views naturally explains why she handles dangerous situations head-on.
- Solid First Half: The first 45 minutes build a decent, stable foundation of suspense that successfully captures the traditional indie vlogger horror charm.
- Fresh International Perspective: As the first Blumhouse feature produced entirely outside of the United States, it offers a welcome break from standard American settings.
The Bad
- Severe Second-Half Collapse: The film completely falls apart in its latter half, aggressively abandoning its steady tension to sprint through generic horror clichés.
- Subpar Digital Effects: The production relies on some remarkably terrible CGI elements that severely distract from the practical grimy atmosphere.
- Unfocused, Overstuffed Narrative: The script attempts to juggle relationship trauma, partner deception, and social commentary all at once, resulting in a chaotic mess.
- Glaring Plot Holes: The final act tries to tease an unreliable narrator angle, but the internal logic is so weak that it fails to wrap up the mystery in a satisfying way.
The Ugly: The total lack of originality. Instead of using its unique international production backing to deliver something unique, the film relies entirely on identical, ten-year-old livestream tropes that have already been executed much better elsewhere.
Should You Watch No Me Sigas?
Since it is completely free to stream on YouTube, it is absolutely worth a passive watch if you have a high tolerance for classic internet-age tropes, but you must temper your expectations. Co-directors Ximena García Lecuona and Eduardo Lecuona construct a genuinely solid, grimy atmosphere early on that keeps you engaged. However, the Blumhouse-branded feature quickly squanders its momentum, trading its early character-driven tension for lazy jump scares and messy relationship subplots. It makes for decent, low-stakes background noise, but hardcore horror fans will find it far too derivative to leave a lasting impression.

Our Scoring Philosophy: A Fair Fight
Horror is a genre that thrives thanks to indie film makers and low budget creators. At Knockout Horror, we firmly believe that every movie that we review deserves a fair fight. That's why we grade on a curve. Our star ratings are all about context, judging a film on what it achieves with the resources it has.
A 4-star rating for a scrappy indie horror made for $10,000 is a testament to its ingenuity and raw power. A 4-star rating for a $100 million blockbuster means it delivered on its epic promises. We don't compare them side-by-side; we celebrate success in every weight class, from the back-alley brawler to the heavyweight champion. Please keep this in mind when considering star ratings.
