The Untamed (Spanish: La región salvaje) is a 2016 Mexican science fiction horror film written and directed by Amat Escalante.

Veronica is a young woman who is sexually infatuated with a tentacled alien creature originating from a crashed meteor that an elderly couple keep in a barn in the countryside.

Ángel is arrested at work, and Alejandra testifies against him, as does one of Fabián's co-workers, who witnessed their disputes.

She continues to visit the barn, even sometimes bringing her kids along when she can't find anyone to watch them for her; they play outside while she has sex with the creature in the room.

Ángel's wealthy parents use their influence to have their son released from jail, posting bail by selling his house.

The site's critics' consensus reads: "The Untamed attempts some ambitious tonal juggling between fantastical and disturbing -- and draws viewers in with its slippery, inexorable pull.

"[4] On Metacritic, the film has an aggregated score of 72 out of 100 based on 19 critics, indicating "Generally favorable reviews".
