“Cold-blood rotten-to-the-core thief Ismael kills a woman during a burglary while her young daughter is watching. Years later he finds her as a beautiful but semi-catatonic teenager at the funny farm. He kidnaps her and intent to off but gets fascinated and obsessed with her much to Ismaelu0026#39;s equally rotten and greedy jealous girlfriendu0026#39;s annoyance.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eDirector Juanma Bajo Ulloa (who was in his mid-20s when he made this, his 2nd feature) has created one of the most disturbing psychosexual Euro-thrillers in recent years. u0026quot;Madre Muertau0026quot; is a dark visually stunning journey into sheer madness guided with wicked comic touches. More emotional involving than u0026quot;Funny Gamesu0026quot;, more adult than Iglesia – a truly compelling cerebral and ghoulishly unpredictable masterpiece.”
