El frio en los huesos

This is a movie to my taste. It was recommended to me and I was not disappointed. The story has some unexpected twists that worked perfectly and pretty soon you realize there are more secrets than what meets the eye. The acting was overall very good and each of the actors really did a fantastic job. I was particularly impressed by the dynamic between the two brothers and their intense and complex relationship. The film takes place during a stormy night which adds mystery and atmosphere to the set. It's a low-budget production but often (not always) they surpass bombastic, big-budget Hollywood movies filled with CGI effects. Another this I appreciated was that the action began pretty early so it's not really a slow-burner. The ending is somewhat predictable but all in all this is definitely a film worth watching if you like mystery thrillers. I give it 7 out of 10 easily.

From the first 10 minutes you can pretty much predict the general plot, and while many movies would fail there this one does not. The acting is excellent, and there are still enough plot twists to add some spice to the story.

It is very well made. The setting is fine the camera work is excellent, the sound is great.

It has horror elements albeit grounded. Its horror like watching Hitchcocks Psycho is horror. Some of the shocking scenes are worthy of the movie Silence of the Lambs.

Not normally what I like, more of an Insidious type of guy, but the whole family liked it including teenagers. The ending is also pretty good, bittersweet but ok even for those who like "happy" endings.

Not a horror movie, but definitely a thriller.... This was a decent little watch, nothing new, but the acting was good, the pacing smooth and the atmosphere worked. Maybe it's just because I have kids, but I'm not sure why people are saying these are all new faces to acting because the Mother (Joely Richardson) I will never forget as Anita from the live action 101 Dalmatians with Glenn Close. She also had a decent part in nip/tuck, and was in Event Horizon and The Patriot, as well as quite a few small parts here and there in other things including more stuff parents would see with teenage daughters. So while not a big name she should be recognizable to many.... Now, I realize these parts span the genre's but I guess I figured most people watch a variety of things like I do. Maybe they just never recognized her? Anyway, there were some other cast that I have seen as well in stuff, like the daughter also being in the Winx saga (again teenage daughter in this house lol) Although most haven't been in the sheer number of things that Richardson has. That said, while this was predictable, it was worth a watch. Especially if you like the home invasion type movies where the roles flip and the aggressors become the targets... I do like these types of movies and enjoyed it. A solid 5 to 5 1/2 stars, decent but forgettable once seen. Worth a watch though if looking for something you haven't seen yet.

True, more a thriller than a horror film,(no zombies or ghosts...lol) but...well worth watching.

Saw another reviewer said ''after 20 minutes , so predictable'' he quit watching....... Damn near took his advice ,glad I DIDN'T.

The trailer comes across like countless movies about stumbling into some nut job family , nope a better story.

A few good twists to it.

Pacing is perfect, Begin's telling ya just enough about the characters to make ya think ya know them , then the story steadily increases in detail,action and twists.

As far as acting and writing goes..Everyone convincing , story line kept me pulled in till the end.

{Huge Kudos to the woman that played the ''MOM''} --------------------------------------------------------------------- IMHO There are movies well worth watching ,but only once. Because the twists.

This movie is worth a watch.

Recently I have seen a few movies that have been put into the horror genre that are really thrillers with some horror which is more to do with the evil that humans are capable of. This falls into that category.

However, once I got past the realisation that this was not a horror in the true sense, no ghosts, no demons, no serial killers in masks, it was a very enjoyable movie.

The acting was top notch through out and although there was a twist and a bit of a reversal towards the end, the story felt somewhat familiar But done so well, it actually didn't bother me. As long as you don't go into this movie expecting Paranormal Activity, or Halloween, it is a suspenseful and enjoyable thriller.
