You wake day after day to the comfort and security of your home. But how safe is it really?
Balagueró balances the suspense almost perfectly but adds enough humanity to all his characters to make this a sad tragic thriller that will get under your skin and keep you hooked until the final cruel dénouement.
A creepy, neo-Hitchcock stalker drama, infused with uneasy twists and a slow-burning intensity. Check it out. Then check under your bed...
Tosar continues to be a powerful on screen presence, disguising layers of darkness beneath an affable exterior.
Wildly malevolent, but shrewdly executed and creepily watchable.
Balagueró stretches suspense as taut as piano wire, tightening it by degrees, and adds a gratuitous twist of horror in the concierge's account of these barbarities to his voiceless, hospital-bound mother. The old dictum "Misery loves company" has seldom been given a more unsavoury or gripping illustration.
A well-orchestrated, understated tale of terror that sustains suspense throughout.
You won't after seeing this master fully creepy suspense thriller.
An unrelievedly nightmarish film.
