Good thriller


I was expecting this from a long time ago now. While the movie was not exactly what i was expecting, I was not really dissapointed neither. The movie is very good, Tosar and Etura gave top notch performances. The story was disturbing also original! The movie had a good direction, although it could have been a little more intense in parts. The movie is slow, but never boring, since Balagueró really knows how to intrigued the viewer and the characters are always interesting. This movie is very different from Rec and To Let, since the other 2 are a alittle more intense and straight horror films, while this one is a little more slow paced and more of a drama-thriller, although it has its horror moments. Like I said I loved the acting, loved the story, liked the directing, score, atmosphere was also good, I also loved the locations, the building, apartments. Theres one bloody scene near the end, that was very, very well made, it really looked real. Overall this was a very interesting movie about a man who is looking for such a simple yet complicating thing call happyness. Very interesting film, if you are studying psychology like me, even more interesting. 7/10.

I agree, It was, by far, the best spanish movie from 2011. Much much better than "No Habrá Paz para los Malvados" (which is very good) and the so overrated "The Skin I Live In".

It reminded me a mixture between Hitchcock and Polanksi's movies.


I'm so excited, I think I'll brush all my teeth today!

Just my 2$:

It's a pure thriller movie. Horror is when you deal with monsters and stuff. In thrillers, there are human monsters ;)

Great film BTW.

"Gdy w piekle zabraknie miejsca, umarli wyjda na Ziemie" - got it?

Well isn't it horrifying, therefore horror?

reply

Agreed. Horror doesnt need to have monsters or creatures to be considered horror.

I think "The Skin I live In" has its flaws, but I don't see how it's overrated.

It was the best thriller of 2012. Now that more people can see it in 2013, they will share the same sentiment about it. It's a classically crafted thriller with one of the best lead horror performances in quite some time. I'm surprised it's only 7.1.

reply

yeah more people should check it out.

A suspenseful thriller due to its script and direction. The characterisation of Cesar added to the intrigue, wondering what had happen to him for his deep cynicism.

I'd rather be hated for who I am, than loved for who I am not.

There were a few issues I had with the plot but it was still a very respectable thriller. I gave it a 7/10 as well.
