AGURUPHOBIA

Cinemavixion Review

Richard Montes' "Aguruphobia" (2015) is an offbeat comedy that takes a surprising turn into the realm of spiritual seeking and personal salvation. The film, starring Jade Puga as Crystal, chronicles her quest for self-discovery, which becomes unexpectedly perilous when she encounters the guru Nanak. The narrative cleverly blends humor with a commentary on enlightenment, revealing that Crystal's most pressing concern might be the retrieval of her vibrator from the guru's clutches. With a strong performance from Puga and the supporting cast including Pepe Serna, "Aguruphobia" offers a unique and quirky cinematic experience that defies conventional genre boundaries. The film is noted for its distinctive comedic voice and its willingness to explore unconventional themes, making it a noteworthy independent production.
