“Terrible things happen in Dulceu0026#39;s house in 1981; such terrible things that she has been in prison ever since. In 2011, now an old woman, Dulce is the beneficiary of a boon from the Venezuelan government – she is allowed to leave the prison, but she must remain on house arrest (complete with armed guards outside 24/7), in the very house where those terrible events occurred. And now it seems that they are about to occur again, and again, and again….u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI donu0026#39;t want to say much at all about this film because its power comes from its unexpected twists and turns and things we, the audience, never saw coming. I donu0026#39;t like scary movies much because, well, I donu0026#39;t like being scared – and this one definitely scared me, there were at least half a dozen times when I jumped in my seat (and perhaps screamed a little)! But I ended up really loving this film, in part because of the way it unfolds and in part because of the very fine acting, by Ruddy Rodriguez as Dolce especially, but also including Gonzalo Cubero as her husband Juan Jose, Rosmel Bustamente as her son Leo and (the very handsome) Hector Mercado as the local priest. My only quibble has to do with the fact that all the rooms in the house are always kept locked, whether family members are in them or not; I didnu0026#39;t quite understand that. But if youu0026#39;re looking for a very classy u0026quot;supernatural thriller,u0026quot; you wouldnu0026#39;t go wrong by choosing to search this one out; truly excellent!”
