Le gardien invisible

This film is about a female investigator assigned to work a serial killer case involving the deaths of adolescent girls from her hometown. Her family owns and runs a bakery but she chose to go to the US to train with the FBI rather than work there. Within her family there are hard feelings about her career decision but she stays the course, working the case to the best of her ability. There's village folklore about a "basajaun" (a beast similar to our bigfoot) that comes into play and leads to the killer's title being "The Basajaun Killer." Can she overcome the issues that haunt her family life and herself doubt and bring a monster to justice?

I liked this. I thought it was filmed well with great settings and a dark atmosphere. I didn't have any complaints about the acting and felt that, for the most part, the actors did a great job bringing out each character's personality and perspective. I liked having a bit of mythology thrown into the mix to keep things interesting.

My only complaints would be that the pace seemed to drag at times and there were bits of the story that could've used a little more attention. I did enjoy it though and wouldn't mind suggesting it to a friend.

I gotta say i enjoyed this movie from Spain.Never be put off by a review!Good atmosphere creation ...with the rainy weather?Characters are plausible,basic yet realistic psychology.interesting session of card reading!Made me want to visit a certain area of Spain too!Give it a try!

I accidentally started with part 3. It turned out to be a trilogy of which this is part one. I also thought this was a Spanish movie, but the language sounded like some weird dialect I never heard before, after about 30 minutes it was revealed to be Basque (part of Spain) and that it apparently is a separate, somewhat similar language.

The movie is a classic detective: girls get murdered in a serial killer way, inspector Salazar is the lead agent in charge starts solving the crime clue by clue. The way it plays out was somewhat weird though. It is current time but they talk about a mythical creature (like Bigfoot). At first I thought it was meant to be funny but it was quite serious. Then there's a next clue that comes from reading tarot cards... Some things don't seem to have logic or just come out of the blue, or ominous music starts that warns the viewer something is about to happen but what happens has nothing to do with the story and is basically unneeded. I stopped rewinding after a few such instances and just went with it. The ending makes sense though, nothing mythical about it, just plain old detective work to find the twisted culprit.

You need to see the trilogy for everything to become clear. The ending of 'El guardian invisible' is the announcement of part two.

Movie starts, a teenager girl naked body is found beside a river . The police assumes,some kind of religious act, as the the body was throughly washed and a cookie is placed on the lower private part. As the time passes,there are more girls who are disappearing and the next day, they are found dead on the same forest. The female police who has a traumatic past, set out to find the cookie's ingredients and find the shop. Surprisingly,her sister has a cookie shop. She asked her for the list of shops and ingredients however,she provided her with wrong information. What's her motive?

The cops are searching and they found a hundred of bones in a cave, on the other hand, the chief has found out about the involvement of her family and pushed her out of the case. Will she able to find the motive behind all these murders?

I loved it from starting, it compelling. But, as the time passes, it felt so absurd. Ending could have been better but it was totally messed.

For anyone confused as to why there are so many plot lines left unfinished, they are addressed in the second movie. This trilogy is based on a book, adding mystical elements which may seem confusing at first. Would definitely recommend watching the rest before jumping to conclusions. Amazing cinematography, along with a good portrayal of Spain, showing us an urban legend while keeping it a great thriller !
