Following a car accident that kills his wife and leaves his best friend David (David Pareja) with nothing but a scratch, Javi (Javier Botet, REC, Crimson Peak) is left bedridden. His body bears deep gashes, his lungs are filled with fluid that make talking painful and near impossible, his legs are inoperable. From scene one, we see the dynamic at play between the two survivors. David carries Javi into the house. They are fresh from the hospital, and David assures Javi that he will be there to care for him. But... something is not right. Javi does not want David's help. David starts noticing things out of place. He starts suspecting Javi of gaslighting him, despite the fact that Javi can barely move of his own volition. In a series of torturous scenes, the power dynamic settles into a disquieting groove. Reaching an aching fever pitch....

It’s taken its time getting a North American release, but will prove worth the wait for fans of restrained, small-scale yet harrowing suspense.

Nightmare on Film Street

Nightmare imagery and deadly suspicion help sharpen the edges of this buddy drama and morph it into something a little more palatable for the average horror fan.

Rated: 6/10

David acts as his best friend's caretaker after he is left incapacitated by a car accident. However, the dynamics between the two men become increasingly toxic and intense. "Amigo" focuses on the relationship between two characters whose friendship is eroded by a constant sense of guilt and paranoia. A claustrophobic and disturbing thriller!

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Goza de un ritmo correctísimo para lo que sucede en todo momento. La fotografía capta correctamente el ambiente de cada escena y los silencios naturales me encantan.
