One of my all time favorites.

Highly Overrated But Still Good

This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

Many of the dislikes I have heard come from people that want to see a movie that leads by the hand. This is not that kind of movies and most of the times is why Argentine movies are destroyed by American adaptations. It's a low budget movie with few excellent Argentine actors and a very catchy story.

First of all, I would like to say that the actors did a very nice job... The problem with this movie, is it's presentation... confusing, weird... it seems like the characters (the main one, especially) are trapped in an endless loop, where another "copy" of Dante appears, every time the "evil" Dante is killed, and it starts all over again. In the end, the viewer doesn't know if anything is real or not... are the characters real, or just mannequins? Is Dante delusional or not? Just one tiny curiosity Tomas Samot, spells the same backwards...Personally, I don't recommend it... the weirdness kills the mood of the movie...

This actually starts off pretty promisingly. It's not found-footage horror, thank god for that. It builds some nice atmosphere and some nice suspense. I watched it because a review compared it to the works of David Lynch, and really, that's far off. Maybe it does build some comparable tension and dread, but it's just all over the place, and it tries to do just way too much. The camera-work is very distracting as well, and actually doesn't add anything but just eliminated a lot of suspense and it's quite annoying. The acting is over-the-top, but not in a really bad way. The lead is pretty solid, if maybe not particularly memorable. Not recommended.
