Le gardien invisible

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.

Any confusion, and unsolved ends, are due mostly to this movie being part of a trilogy. Two movies are available now, and I think the third is soon to be released. The concerns over the tarot cards, and the mother etc. are all made clear in the second movie. I almost feel as if this would've been better as an entire series because if you only watch this first movie you'll miss out on the WHY of it all. I like the way it all eventually falls Into place, but this isn't obvious unless you watch both movies.

Very poor script, lot of unnecessary dialog and characters. Used a blue/gray lens filter to strengthen the grim, dark, cold, rainy winter feelings. A serial killer continued to do the serial killings when the police force concentrated and focused on the small town? The victims were disposed in remote, difficult to approach terrains? There was no way a single person could do the job of removal of dead bodies single-handedly, even in a city with paved streets, albeit transported the corpses into the wildness.

We continued to see and hear the high praises of this female detective by her superiors, yet what we saw here was a sentimentally wounded female, constantly flashed back when, where and how she grew up. A woman got an American artist boy friend. A woman difficult to get pregnant but longing for a child. There's nothing to show how great her detecting ability was. Choosing the wintry raining city and countryside scenes were only good for cinematographic purpose but not good and welcomed by these poor actors who usually soaked to their bones and so dangerously getting pneumonia.

This is a very pretentious and amateurish murder mystery film that would wasted your lifetime on earth minus 2 hours 8 minutes 50 seconds and would bore you to an earlier death.

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!

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 !
