Alejandro Amenábar's debut on the big screen is a joy to watch! A masterwork in suspense. More of a thriller than a horror film, in despite of what it suggest by its premise.
What we see here is the exploration of the antagonistic nature of violence and its effects on us humans. At the same time pulling and repelling us. Its glorification in a market level and the way it is exploited to various degrees and goals. The characters are fleshed out and very well portrayed, giving a lot of humanity to their roles, leaving them as people you might know in your everyday life.
The setting in a film school and the way the protagonists take the lead in a investigation is reminiscent of gialli movies. But at the same time the horror is subdued, in contrast of their Italian counterparties. The building of suspense is gradual, subtle and gives a lot to the imagination, which is always a good thing, considering European horror in general. The power of suggestion is a fine art, like Hitchcock once developed it so greatly, leaving the blueprint for others to develop on it.
Some plot holes, but nothing to detach from the general experience. A true gem.

Bava Jr.'s late giallo is a slow burning atmospheric thriller, where the director keeps searching for his own voice and to leave his father's footsteps.
In despite of some flaws (wooden acting, incongruent plot...) I enjoyed the setting of the movie. The house is by itself a central character and oozes with personality, with it's empty halls, corridors and general eerie atmosphere. The washed out, typical 80's photography is a departure from the colorful feverish style of his father. It enhances the dreamy and contemplative approach of this little gem. There's also the meta-characteristics of the movie, resembling pictures like "Blow-Up", and more likely "Blow Out". The music is an important element of this whole scenario, and it's melancholic nature adds up to the general feeling. The violence is intense, but comes in small doses, bursting out suddenly to remind you of it's italian roots.
A movie more about senses and perceptions, rather than plot or cohesiveness. Keep that in mind. I like it that way.
