This is a total family entertainment movie, and of course it is one of our classics for the easter season always expected on the telly for Easter Sunday, for us "Resurrection Sunday".

As a kid one always remembers the trips to the countryside during the easter break, in particular trips to the seaside for those of us who live nearer to the coast.

Sometimes during family breaks things do not precisely go as expected, and the worst that can happen it might well do. This is not a scary movie although it does certainly contains some spooky aspects.

The cast is superb and this is a must-see for anyone who pretends to adventure into Venezuelan cinema.

I have seen Oldboy, I have to warn my readers this is not any old street fighting action movie. It is a trip through human emotions, love and hatred, revenge, passion... I could not precisely describe all the emotions this movie brings out of me. Nevertheless, I think it would be a BIG mistake to go for an American remake of this movie, also I would recommend people to watch it with subtitles, the flow of Korean language in certain scenes is important to realise the desperation of the characters there's also the natural innocence and amusement present in all eastern movies. The point of the movie, well, things which for our society are somehow "tabus" which can destroy people's lives, I think that is what this movie is about, some kind of eastern-modern version of OedipusRex, but this is only a guess. I absolutely loved the soundtrack of this movie, beginning to end. I have thought also about going to Seoul, maybe to try some "live Octopus". I hope this is any use to any of you.

I think the movie as a whole is pretty much a feminine point of view of what family life can be. The movie shows us the lives of average people who get involved in hard situations at an specific moment of their lives. I suppose if the same movie had been made by a man it would be absolutely different.

PS: It was quite interesting the idea of the kids living in their own world and also involved in the whole argument, it really loose me at times.
