No Me Sigas (2025) Review – International Blumhouse Horror Fails to Impress

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.

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.
