Compulsion - Abgründe der menschlichen Seele

This was a movie about 3 characters that I felt no connection with. I hoped that all 3 spontaneously combusted, that would have been too much like right. Watch anything else.

Thrilling story about a serial killer that contains violence , dark atmosphere and the suspense is well paced from start to finish. It packs a sinister and perverse intrigue that goes on enhancing little by little leading to a spiral of madness and grisly killings . It deals with a timid woman who suspects her sweetheart , Paco Manzanedo, is cheating on her . When begins searching for the truth, she finds out terrible events that will turn her life into horrible nightmares . Discovering the truth can be painful. Where do you go when when there is no place to hide ?

Crime movie displaying suspense , intrigue , tension , blood and gore . Despite being somewhat of a cinematic cliché, because the story needs a vibration more real than the one offered in this excessively violent flick , though packs some thrilling and suspenseful scenes . This nice piece of work results to be passable but slow-moving picture. The movie relies heavily on three characters and only theme , a criminal spree , a psychopath whose secret crimes are discovered resulting in fateful and endless consequences . Anyway , it is compensated with decent performances from trío starring that provided a considerable boost to result , these are the following ones : Paco Manzanedo, and the unknown Marina Esteve and Susana Abaitua. Special mention for main starring Paco Manzanedo who gives a nice acting . Manzanedo usually plays as a secondary actor , performing as cinema: El Olivo, Secuestro, Resucitado , Rec 4 , Omnivoro , Flores de otro Mundo, and especially Television series as Las Chicas del Cable, Desaparecidos, Embarcadero, Conquistadores Adventium, Ministerio del Tiempo, Perdoname Señor, El Final del camino, Gran Reserva , Sonata de Silencio, among others. This Compulsion concerns a psycho-killer , an issue that has a long tradition in the Spanish cinema from the classic Cannibal Man by Eloy de la Iglesias with Vicente Parra to other films as Plenilunio by Imanol Uribe with Juan Diego Botto, Se quien eres by Patricia Ferreira with Miguel Angel Sola, 13 Chimes by Xavier Villaverde with Luis Tosar, Impulses by Miguel Alcantud with Daniel Freire, Cannibal 2013 Martin Cuenca with Antonio de la Torre and several others .

This low budget film received a positive recepction from its first screening at various festivals such as: Anatomy Crime and Horror Festival , Edmonton Festival of Fear International Film, Imagine Film Festival, Molins Film Festival, Sitges Catalonian Film Festival, Tabloid Witch Awards, Twin Rivers Media Festival, winning some Awards , though had indifferent reception by the public , failing at boxoffice. The motion picture was uneven but professionally written/produced/ directed by Angel González in his only one .

Do not watch this to learn about motives ... about the why ... there are no answers to that. And maybe it is better that way. Of course that makes it for some even more difficult to watch. Why would you want to see something when there might not be anyone to root for? Of course you could argue that you can root for at least one of the three people ... that will be up to you.

Crazy movie in a sense, but not as far as others have been. Still the man in this is as despicable as any other villain in other movies you have seen. I really can't recommend this - but on the other hand, for the type of movie that this is ... it is quite decent. How the story evolves, how the situation gets even worse by the minute ... even when you can guess what happens next, more or less.

I had to fast forward through some slow scenes but overall it kept me curious and ready for the big payoff.
