Do you want to watch something sad and bleak, a shattering horror movie which will you tear you in pieces? Then watch something else, for there is no doom and gloom here.

This is a fun ride. A combination of horror and a crime drama movie. To be precise, first 40 minutes are more "serious", i would even call it realistic. At first, this looks like a crime drama. It's intense, well acted and well directed. Jaume Balagueró is a good director. From "Películas para no dormir: Para entrar a vivir" up until REC franchise and "Mientras duermes", he doesn't disappoint. At worst, his movies are watchable. At best, he will deliver masterpieces like the first two REC.

This is like an early 00's horror movie. Entertaining, a bit of naive, don't always make much sense but also never boring neither artsy. Many people will hate the ending, i liked it though. It's insane and fun, i would hate it otherwise. This is not Aster neither Eggers. This is pure entertainment and the last 15-20 minutes are satisfying. If you want to get scared and watch something bone-chilling, this is not your movie.
