Dos

The story is great for a mini series, it is new and creative. However, the movie was short and lame. The acting was terrible, my grandma does it better. I recommend to watch it if you wanted to waste some time. Better luck next time.

Two: Two people, a man and a woman awake in a bed to find their abdomens have been stitched together. They have never met before and there is mutual suspicion. However they have to reach a modus vivendi and co-ordinate their actions to actually move. There are some scenes of horror here, even existential terror but is far too wordy. All is explained and though there is a grand guignol ending Two does not follow the brevity of that school. Even at 70 minutes it's too drawn out and might have worked better as an episode of an anthology series or film. Directed by Mar Targarona, Written by Cuca Canals,Christian Molina & Mike Hostench. On Netflix. 5/10.

Ah this took me back to my physiology class where we learned about leptin through parabiosis of rats.

A Spanish mystery thriller on Netflix where two people got sewn together and had to try to get out of the ordeal.

I'm pretty sure I enjoyed this movie a lot more than the general reviews that I have seen on Letterboxd. When the movie started I could feel pain in my belly. It's such a nasty yet interesting concept that drawn me into the movie. Even though the movie was only a hour, its pacing was quite slow, but this actually kept the intensity high for me. The conversations between the characters were weird at times, but I wasn't bothered that much.

Good concept is one thing, but execution is a different story. This aspect was where I was majorly disappointed. Ugh it's annoying how they butchered the potential. The twist in this movie could have been handled way better to have significantly more impact. For some reason it was like they downplayed the twist. Because of this, the last 20 minutes felt like the director got confused and led to the demise of the movie. My mind could have been blown away like when I watched The Invisible Guest (one of the best Spanish mystery thrillers that is also on Netflix), but I didn't get that, thanks to the lack of direction from the director.

Also, even though I said I wasn't bothered much from the conversations, the characters' behaviors and mindset were confusing and pretty unrealistic.

Overall, this had so so much potential to be a great body horror, but it fell short. That's my two cents. 6/10.

This is one of those films where they have come up with a idea but then struggle to come up with a why? Two people unknown to each other wake up naked sewn together at the abdomen, in a room neither of them have been in before. Its a good idea but what follows makes little sense, the way the characters act to being there and the reason they are there makes absolutely no sense whatsoever.

Firstly, the two sewn together kept changing position so much it was ridiculous and clear they weren't sewn together. I mean, I know you're not really going to see people together for a film bit they really needed something to make it more believable. At one point he'd behind her, looking out a window, they were lying stomach to stomach in bed, then they are stood side by side. Like you'd be able to move through that much range and not be in agony. Secondly, the reason behind it all is not well done at all. It's so rushed and vague and quite frankly not believable. But if they'd spent more time maybe it could have been made more believable. For me when films are dubbed it's hard to gauge the acting as it's someone else acting it too, with their voice, so abit unfair to judge the actors.
