Offering to the Storm

The Baztan trilogy is packed full of unusual happenings, murders and unexplainable events. I believe viewers were excited to see some of the unsolved mysteries come to a climax that would bring closure. Unfortunately, this is not the case at all! After hours of watching the characters get pushed to the limit, enduring horrific life-threatening circumstances and even some cryptic elements, we get cheated out of some answers.

Offering to the Storm holds one's attention with similar tactics that we see in the first two films. It's basically a fast pace crime drama with multiple twists and turns that loom over our main character pushing her to the brink. In the end, the villain turns out to be exactly who everyone thought it was, yet the writer took a very unsatisfying route. I honestly believe the characters, the film and the entire trilogy fall apart during the last half our. The last scene is so open-ended that it feels like there could be another sequel. That's a problem because a franchise has to have one element to keep a fanbase........interesting characters. This is especially true concerning the protagonist. Unfortunately she's just not very intriguing.

I enjoyed the first film, The Invisible Guardian, and was surprised that a certain someone wasn't revisited in the other films. I will not be viewing any of these a second time.
