Martha Higareda on AllMovie

Performer Martha Higareda launched her screen career with a series of roles in Mexican productions, including Amar te Duele (2002), Las Calles del D.F. (2006), and Así del Precipicio (2006). Higareda broke through to international acclaim with several plum assignments that cropped up within a three-year span. She first landed the lead female role in Fernando Kalife's ensemble drama 7 Days (2005), then tackled a key supporting part in Javier Patron's atmospheric family drama Beyond Heaven (2006), and next signed for a lead as a scream queen in Zev Berman's Borderland (2007) -- an occult horror outing about a series of grisly murders that plagued a northern Mexican town in early 1989.
