Ánimas

I'll probably have to watch better again, it's not easy to understand, has a weak script is not a well elaborated story beautiful images sometimes the color is exaggerated but I recommend if you want something new

First, if you need action or a plot within the first 15 minutes of a film, just skip this; it takes a good 45+ minutes of development before the threads start to resemble a story.

Disclaimer out of the way ... WOW, such an enjoyable film; I was scared, I was happy, I was sad. Reminiscent of Eternal Sunshine, but modern and grittier. The film builds considerable substance w/o using words, even with the English subs, it was never a burdensome amount of reading. I hope to see more from this writer/director team.

Ok this one does not go full head on into horror. And to be honest, it's not focused on scares but more on the psychological part, as it would have been described better as so.

But Animas has an alright execution, stays true to itself, does deliver on its premise and I think it came out as a success. Has more than one layer to it so you will have to take your time and wait, but by the end everything will make sense, leaving the viewer with a nice sense of closure and a fresh start feeling.

It is a little movie indeed but one that managed to show exactly what it wanted, a twisted world with good backgrounds, soundtrack and a little more than meets the eye. Recommended.

Cheers!

"Ánimas" is part psychological horror, part homage to classic movies from the likes of Argento and De Palma. Unpredictable, enigmatic and, at times, creepy, this won't be to all tastes but it's an original and brave film.

It's also a beautiful movie, thanks to the striking cinematography by Fran Fernández Pardo. The majority of scenes are bathed in a warm glow of green and pink, reminiscent of the original version of "Suspiria".

Clare Durant is mesmerising as the tortured Alex.

The soundtrack is wonderful.

8 out of 10. A wonderful slice of Spanish horror.

This movie is unbelievable. I don't know why many people rated it so low,well maybe I do. This is not the kind of movie that anyone can see,it is hard to see, it is not easily understood. But I think it is one of the best movies I've seen so far this year. Spain movies are the best!
