El abismo secreto

If you read most of the reviews so far you can tell there are two very different tones in the two halfs of this film. Some may not like both styles of the film. There are slow and intimate moments in the first half building up the whole structure of the film and sci-fi horror very disturbing scenes in the second half. I believe the story, photography, acting, editing, visual effects and everything else felt very well done for a self contained film with so few characters and empty spaces. I don't think the payoff and the reveal where underwhelming, felt well explained and conclusive, definitely worth watching it.

It's soooo romantic! And at the same time totally freaky and bit scary. It's a really confusing mix. My heart was melting and stressed out alternately and at the same times. 😍😱

The underlying story is also told in a good and interesting way. They didn't rush it, but also didn't take more time than needed. The movie felt well finished and the combination of romance and action/horror was nicely done and enjoyable... despite my rapidly changing state of heart. 🌟

The main actors were really good as well and had a nice chemistry, that translated well onto on the screen. 😏

Can definitely recommend the movie.

The Acting Anya Taylor-Joy is a great actress. She adds believability to her role by the way she delivers her lines. It is like she is a sniper not just playing one. Same thing will Teller. It's amazing what real actors can do with a story that has been told many times. These two put a new twist on an old story and they make work. Sigourney Weaver was a real surprise who did a good job in a supporting role.

The Story The movie had excellent pace. The action scenes were very well done.

The writing was excellent. Having good lines to deliver by the actors keeps your interest.

Anya and Teller have very good on screen chemistry. You never feel like they are just saying their lines. It would be great to see these two in a sequel but the story doesn't lend itself to a part 2.

I watched this on a whim but chose it for the cast. Was quickly enjoying the movie that constantly moved into new territory with the story.

And believe it or not, it had a pretty great love story something that is really hard to achieve within the genere of horror / sci-fi.

The characters were fun to get invested in and their relationship really made the movie compared to movies that have all action but we just couldn't care less if they died.

I do think it helped that I saw no trailers for the film. That really made it something I could enjoy without having any expectations. If your looking for a good sci fi, I recommend it.

If they had got the casting wrong this film would of been a let down for me, The romance that develops was believable and charming and enjoyable to watch. Aside from that it's just a action film which at times left me thinking this was based on a video game...lots of blowing stuff up etc but honestly nothing hear for the horror fans. It follows the action film formula as well as the romantic film formula but completely ignores the horror formula. Yes it has sci-fi in it thus aliens or whatever they called them but they don't give you the creeps. Overall it is entertaining but only because of the casting. It's a great film for a rainy day ,it just isn't a must watch.
