Well this was a pleasant surprise. Was flicking through Netflix and this movie came up. Went in not knowing anything about it. Kept me riveted and the storyline was pretty good & decently acted.

A couple driving home happen upon a young child stranded in the road. She's taken to hospital with kidney problems. No parents are located, the child isn't responsive and doesn't talk much. The couple foster her short term to aid her recovery and then little by little light is thrown upon her past & the mystery is uncovered largely by the foster mum.

It's rated horror but it's definitely thriller/suspense.

If you're looking for high-action, big-explosive Hollywood - this movie is not for you. If you're looking for an interesting story, with a few twist, where you might have to use your brain a bit (it's not crazy difficult to figure out) than I think you'll enjoy this one.

Written in Spanish, with some small amounts of French mixed in, they've done a great job at translating it over for us English only speakers. It's actually dubbed over!! If I wanted to read an entire movie, I'd just read a book.. right?

RECOMMEND: Definitely give it a try. You're not going to find much else out there better than this. Not really a horror movie (a little bit of torture) mostly thriller, edge-of-your-seat kind of stuff. Enjoy!

No pun intended - and yes I understand if you have issues with the movie. With certain depictions (dramatic and otherwise) - or (re)actions of the main characters. Yes you will have to suspend your disbelief! Quite a lot - and it is putting it mildly to be honest.

That all being said, the movie will reward your patience in the end. Because there is more to it than you may think there is. And there will be twists and turns waiting for you (not all marked with chalk - well I had to, didn't I?).

So while you may cringe and pull out a few hairs - try to remember that especially in horror, people have to do certain things for other things to happen ... also there are multiple explanations to many things ... sometimes you may not even be thinking of the one that is the truest ... you may not feel it is, but the acting is more than decent. It is the characters that may annoy you ... don't blame the actors. Still really well made overall and with a finale that is able to sway your mind ... and twist it too.

Yes, it might test your patience in the beginning. It seems like a slow paced movie,where you don't even feel like doing your guess work. I also have read some reviews on acting of lead roles,but I found them good enough. It might not be a seat edge movie, but gives you that satisfaction of watching a good suspense thriller. Spanish movies has good number of thrillers, sure you won't get disappointed, Dispite being a slow paced movie, if you wait until pre climax it will surprise you enough. It gives you that required plot twist and you'll love the movie once you finish watching it. So I suggest you to go for it!

That was really engaging Spanish movie based on real story, the screenplay will keep you hook guessing to wrong conclusion, the twist and turn is very well made with good surprises.

Movie has set in the high class residential villas with minimum budget and required cast also less outdoor shots but you won't realise annything missing in the movie since good writing and direction creates a magic.

The way presented the story the viewer will be on the edge of seat until the last minute, this is must recommend movie if your fan of suspense and thriller, just go for it you wont regret.
