This is a typical Spânish horror film in the line of IT COMES AT NIGHT, made the same year, and speaking of a very very close topic. I preferred the other one, but this movie from Spain is not bad either, and as any other horror film produced in this country, it presents kids or teens, but not in the same way as the made in US terror flicks. If you watch closely the Spanish features made since decades now, most of them show children, and this one makes no exception at all. I understand that it is not for all audiences because it needs to use some philosophical thoughts to fully get the message of the whole stuff; that I did not succeeded at. It is question of family and relationship between kids and their old man. Many links are available. Yes, it is too much complex to be accepted by most audiences. The Hollywood industry would have never made such a film, or in a different way.

While lots of mysterious and intriguing things happen, you won't be satisfied unless you like not getting answers in spades. This is definitely another It comes at night , like other people have noted. At least with that one you get a good idea of what's happening. This one felt like someone really wanted to make a movie but left things undone because of lack of budget. I cant recommend this. Its too bad. Had some great things going for it.

A very visually stunning, and moody atmospheric film. Had amazing potential. Should be an 8 but went nowhere and is only a half baked idea. Shame.

Interesting at first... Builds up tons of questions to the audience... Then it just finishes, leaving you with a feeling of having waste time in a story that tells you basically the plot: "in an apocaliptic world, a father tries to maintain.his family, his children want to find the truth"... Nothing develops, nothing's ends, you get nothing... Good acting though.

I don't mind films with narratives that are a bit vague and can be left open to interpretation by the viewer, but there is a limit, and for me this film went way over that limit. It set up compelling mystery after compelling mystery in the first 2 acts then ended abruptly with no answers to any of them. When the film ended I felt cheated, it was like the filmmakers had no idea how to answer any of the mysteries their film had set up in the first 2 acts so decided to not even bother trying and instead introduced even more mysteries into the 3rd act that were left unanswered as well.

I can think of at least half a dozen plot threads in this film that were left unanswered, and I don't just mean left open to interpretation by the viewer, but unanswered. That's not fun, that's not artsy, that's just plain good old fashioned poor storytelling. It's a shame because the first 2 acts that set everything up were so good.

4/10

Nothing happens, don't waste your time watching this film. The whole argument could be reduced to 10-15 seconds.

No ending movie are the worst. Why make a movie with no end and not explain the plot...

I'm not sure what reviewers who wrote "boring" or "nothing happens", were expecting, but this film was captivating. It is NOT in the genre of Marvel action films, so don't watch it if thats what you're hoping for. This film would best be described rather, as "understated", "beguiled". Definitely an artful thriller.

Do not watch this movie, ever!!!!

Plenty waste of time...do not pay attention other reviews, they say good movie I don't know why????

This is worst film ever. If You look at a wall for 1 hour you make better choose

So the Dad wakes up and wanders to the window. At the edge of the screen you can see someone sneaking up on him, I started to get worried until I realized it was the boom mic operator!!! And the movie was doing alright up til then.

If you got to choose between watching this movie and everything else on this planet. Dont watch this movie.

Most boring movie ever. It does not make any sense.

What a waste of time. I wrote like a wee Spanish movie like The Body, or The Last Days... This was utter crap, pointless and was all over the place. Avoid.

The earth stopped spinning. Ummmm....ok...all life ends....or if you're a really dumb writer it just gets foggy jnstead....

If you want to waste your time- by all means, watch this film. If you enjoy over dramatic dark family issues that are captured in a dingy cabin with fog, watch this film. What a waste of film.

Can this even be reviewed without spoilers. Well, maybe. Will give it a go.

This had elements going for it. Cast was creepy, location was creepy, lighting was well done.. it did not feel forced. It is a very steady and slow paced flick.

As the movie progresses it begins to build animosity and mistrust between the characters for reasons so preposterous you as the viewer are confused. That stems from the lack of communication between the characters about what is going on around them. That is actually on purpose.. perhaps he is trying to protect the kids, perhaps he doesn't know. Anyway, the man is portrayed as a semi villain yet caring enough of a person. It never really lets the viewer settle on either side of him, you are constantly wondering if somebody will go full postal...

This movie gives you vibes of 10 cloverfield lane where the woman is kept against her will for her safety as she doesn't believe or understand the world. This is very much the same play out here except replace woman with kids. And i don't have an issue with it from an originality or execution side. What i have an issue with is that after it ends you realize it is a big nothingburger. You have no idea what happened, you have no idea what will happen and nothing is explained. There are vague suggestions as to what is going on but none of it really fits together too well. It is so vague and open ended you can fit in any explanation you want and it will probably work... But then, why watch this?

It is a movie with no plot. Just a collection of scenes that lead nowhere. It is unfortunate because the scenes that we have are decently well done. There is that tension, that anticipation, that creepiness.. But ultimately it is wasted because there is no purpose to any of it. It just a movie that never got finished.

This will get your attention and keep it, and then at the end, smack you with a big fat "haha" and go to credits. The haha is the realization you will never get any closure from this. It also felt like a troll, but i have to write it off as incompetence or lack of money. I mean the budged is no more than 200$ for this and they used it all up and had to end it. No other explanation here.

5/10 because what is there is not horrible at all. 5/10 because it will make you hate how it wasted the good things it had going.

Watch it but just expect nothing out of it.

This movie had some superb acting, but the story needed some work. There were to many questions left unanswered especially the ending. The rating is purely based on the lack of a cohesive story and ending and is not a reflection of the performance of the actors.

Too slow a pace almost ruins this study of human behavior in impossible situations. Not entertaining or flashy, this film will not appeal to those looking for a diversion or soap opera.

Technically it is a fine work and emotionally the payoff takes a little too much time for the layers of the story to unwind. Too bad because not many will stick around to ponder the mysteries this movie presents. Only thing is - where does the adult male find all those bottles of booze he drinks throughout?

This movie is about trust, adolescence, and like the description coming of age. Great movie ignore the reviews. This is a movie that, requests your ability to think!
