Good horror movie, Excellent production values, actors range from good to average, but the movie really abuse of the scarejumps. Although thats a good thing if you like it. The plot its ok, but it could have been better. It looks like a excuse for the scarejumps, although there arent plot holes, ( the reaction to an event could look a bit weird for modern standards, and it could look like a plot hole, but its understandable in the context of the family) and there are some ok twists, and they tried to make an interesting history. But they abuse so much of scarejumps, and use so much tropes of the clasic haunted house movie, that the plot would be a 5 or a 4, and its the weakest part of the movie. But still an interesting movie if you like haunted house movies, and i think its an interesting and decent horror movie overall. The movie happens in the 70s, in spain, so maybe the setting can be a bit alien to american viewers. Take in account that it was a very traditional and catholic country, divorce and abort were still illegal, that explains some of the bits in the story. Franco died the year before, the country is still a dictatorship. The protagonists are a family of farmers, with almost not skills, trying to get a better life in the big city. They find an old and big apartament in a classic neighbourghood of madrid. I liked how it solves the "why the protagonist just dont run away from haunted house"?. You wont regret watching this movie, but maybe youll think that it could have been better

Very, very generic movie. Acting is ok, supernatural scenes are horribly made. The first half of the movie is only "jump scares', nothing really happens. You will forget the movie as soon as it ends

Every horror movie needs a scare jump, or many for sure. But to abuse the scare jump and use it every single minute of the movie is overkill, and it's what gives scare jumps such a bad reputation.

In this movie they use the most monotone situations to use scare jumps along with an extremely annoying volume boost. So yes, at the 5 minute mark I started rolling my eyes, but the atmosphere sort of gave me something to keep watching.

Then again, lighting is all over the place, they open the door and its a pitch black apartment, next scene theres a lot of light coming in from the windows, it uses light to their convenience and not in a realistic way.

It is never clear why the characters are acting the way they are (brother, grandfather, girl in wheelchair (and her mother)), and even worse, the movie concludes with a "resolution" that doesn't really explains those situations.

I'm sad I wasted my "free On Demand movie" code for this. It is a waste of time, scare jumps and money.

I chose this movie over the trailer and also the country since spanish movies ain't my first choice.

The story starts with a house being haunted and soon, after 5 years, a family gets shifted into the house. They start experiencing strange incidents inside the house.

The 1st half of the movie is very interesting, but the moment it starts proceeding to the other half, it feels as if it was stretched for no reason. The plotline degrades after the half part so I do not recommend this movie for 2nd time.

Good parts about the movie are the characters. They make the situation seems so realistic. I liked the actors. Movie is great but not that level where you can finish it.

A decent film, beautifully filmed, with good performances all over the casting, and very well produced, but falls flat and unoriginal story wise.
