“It really is more like a 5.5. The story is mmm ok, but the win is the lovely Almudena Amor, the direction, and the editing.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eRolling up on HBOMax today this movie is #2 in Spain, and after watching I get why. Itu0026#39;s an easy watch with all the things Spanish horror lovers love – supernatural elements, blood, seemingly endearing characters, nudity, a little more blood, an affair, quick zoom edits, creepy repetitive music, but the coup de gras for me was the wink and a nod to Amoru0026#39;s catalogue at the very end a la u0026quot;abuela,u0026quot; referencing a character but also the just a few years ago movie she was is which has nothing to do with this movie. Moving on.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIn short, Amor possesses the young believable ingenue just as Jamie Lee did 40 some odd years ago, and while at least in this interation she doesnu0026#39;t qualify as a u0026quot;scream queenu0026quot; proper, her ability to distill her character and keep the wee plot afloat makes it all worth it.”
