A deep dive into trauma-land with an incredible storyline and phenomenal acting especially by Macarena Gomez, truly a performance I will remember for years to come. Everything about this movie hits the mark for me. Well played Spain!
Beautiful story, very much hits the nail on the head illustrating the fear of the cycle of abuse, gaslighting, and of course the requisite mild gore
Great movie; some parts reminded me of the movie Misery!
The acting was SO GOOD! I'll have to agree with other viewers by saying that the storyline was pretty predictable, but the ending, though? Really didn't expect it! My first spanish horror movie and it certainly won't be my last.
Absolutely fantastic, great characters
