La niña de la comunión

I quite liked this movie. I wanted to rate it higher, unfortunately its unoriginality and predictability kept me from doing so... but it was definitely entertaining. The story is very "been there done that". Still interesting, just not wildly enthralling and following a familiar formula leading to the predictability.

I'd say the most successful part of this was the acting. I thought everyone did a really good job and that was a large factor in the level of engagement in this film. Small shout out to the girl in the very beginning. She had a very short scene but she killed it.

They did a good job with keeping up the spooky, atmospheric vibe throughout. It was disappointing that every time they showed the "monster" I was taken out of the moment because to me the prosthetics were unconvincing and looked a tad silly. I don't know what the budget was like on this production, but the movie looked really nice, so I was surprised by the kinda subpar special effects and CGI but that's not a deal breaker.

The story definitely could've used some fine-tuning and a little zest. The pacing was certainly on the slower side and edged on too slow but was fine. It started to get particularly interesting all of a sudden and then it ended... which was unfortunate. I would have loved to cut some of the filler that slowed the pacing down and had what was the ending happen at the beginning of the third anct and gotten some more story.

Regardless, I think this movie was successful as is and a lot of that success was carried by the actors so, bravo guys. 5.5 rounding down to a 5, would recommend.

No pun intended - we have a movie here that tries to develop quite the ... well lore. It does give us a new evil of sorts, which I reckon we can give it kudos for. At least one I haven't heard before - but be that as it may, it is not that it invents anything too major or new. Horror movies try to build on things that have been done before. Best case is doing it with great finesse and good images at least.

I would argue this achieves to be well captured and edited. Still flawed and predictable of course. But if you like horror movies, you may find quite a lot to cherish here. The ending is a bit weird ... but then again, need I remind everyone what you have been watching?

Sadly, the horror genre just isn't for the Spanish producers. Sure they have some good movies, like Rec for example, but overall they create amazing thrillers, with brilliant suspense and perfect twist endings.

When talking about horror, it's quite sure that the movie will be a swing and a miss, because this is just how it happens over and over.

If you want to try productions like The Invisible Guest, The Hidden Face, Times Crimes, Julia's Eyes and many more, you will have a great time with those. Here is where Spain prevails and gives us amazing movies to remember and even watch again in order to better understand them.

La nina de la comunion is a weak movie, as unoriginal as it gets, brings nothing new, nothing fresh and doesn't deliver with it's ending either. It's just something you've seen many times, done poorly.

Nothing to recommend here sadly, go and find something else. I might recommend Piggy, it's new, it's different good but not horror as in tension or scares. It's the typical good Spanish production.

Cheers!

This movie is not different for any other low cost horror movie. The script was too predictable, the story is poor and lack of context, this was a two hours waste of time. Maybe the actors is the only thing that I can rate, in fact I gave 3 stars because the acting was great. Nothing more.

When you have to animate a demon is that you have a problem and this movie have an animated demon. Is the only thing that I can share.

Summary: if you can avoid to see this film, do it. But if you have no choice and you have to watch the film, be prepared for lost valuable time of your life.

Maybe the next time...

Unfortunately, somebody had the bright idea to do this whole movie in some strange moon man language. Almost impossible to understand what anybody is saying. It seemed like whoever tried to make this movie did not listen to anybody about this strange, alien language coming out of the actors mouths. I imagine this would be very hard for a script writer. This happened to me once before, with a supposed masterpiece of a film called peter pans labyrinth. I think the guys name was Dario argentino or something, but it had stunning visuals, but you just couldn't understand a damn word anybody was saying. One of the few movies that I actually walked out on. But at least the box office gave me my money back. I'm pretty sure this film marked the eventual downfall of all the new Disney . In most cases, these artsy fancy kind of movies are just not worth the time to try and decipher or get any kind of meaning whatsoever out of them.
