7/10
Solid and well made offbeat horror/thriller.
2 January 2014
I really enjoyed this little movie with a great cast especially the subtle yet mesmerising Julia Garner. It does keep you guessing at the start as to what's going on. As I've never seen the Spanish original I cannot compare the two which is probably a good thing as this stands in it's own right as a pretty decent flick involving a secretive family with an overbearing and controlling father. The beginning is very well done as essentially the camera and viewer open up from a wide shot of this family which moves very much past what the exterior into the utmost intimacy of this strange family and why they are, what they are. Involves mild horror and medium violence and blood. Good show that avoids many clichés, and takes quite a journey from the beginning to the end.
