A great movie. Unlike the misleading marketing campaign that suggested this would be a more overt, American-style horror ( yes, i did know it was Spanish ), this is what you would call a classic chiller, of a kind that you don't see much anymore. It doesn't rely on gore, or musical over-scoring, or any of the other things that lazy filmakers use to falsely build the tension. This is pure atmosphere, and the makers take their time developing it. Definitely more satisfying than the relentlessly downbeat 'Pam's Labyrinth'. You'll see what i mean.

I don't normally watch subtitled films but I have to say this was very good. It was very creepy in parts and the twist at the end was unexpected and pretty horrifying!! There was some great jumpy moments in it and overall enjoyed watching it!

The issues underpinning this film are ones which provoke the strongest of opinions, with very few being able to occupy a grey middle-ground. Who has the right to decide when a life should end, when the holder of that life wants his to stop, but needs help to achieve that end?

This film is no dreary discourse on the ethics of euthanasia. Nor is it a life-affirming piece filled with cod philosophy and hope. What it is is a masterfully-acted sweep of underplayed emotion and artistic film-making which simply captivates. The acting is superb. There are characters here who make you weep - not through overplaying the emotionally-charged subject matter, but by quietly shouldering the events that life has thrown at them, dealing with them, and simply ...

I have always liked ghost stories, but there are too few of them, but that is also a good thing as anything that is done poorly lessens a genre. This is a ghost story that does everything right it develops real characters and has suitable motivations for thier actions. When someone does something obsessive or crazy it is well justified and doesn't feel like a plot device. The acting is generally very good and you quickly stop noticing that it is subtitled. While I don't mind subtitled films I don't go out of my way to watch them.
