      Gary Dowell Dallas Morning News While the Spanish film The Art of Dying isn't perfect, it is a compelling bit of psycho-horror. Rated: C+ May 23, 2002 Full Review Marta Barber Miami Herald After The Others, The Art of Dying feels like the designer bags you buy at the flea market. Nov 8, 2001 Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com Rated: 3/5 Aug 11, 2005 Full Review Frank Swietek One Guy's Opinion Unhappily it lacks a sense of style distinctive enough to overcome its derivative quality.

      Audience Member Una película española toda loca, que hubiese entendido mas si los españoles tuvieran sus audiometrias normales, volumen para escuchar las voces en 70 y cuando ponen la música en 30 sino quedo sorda, si los españoles resuelven ese problema que buenas serian sus producciones, buena y diferente trama pero le doy menos puntaje por el audio.. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Audience Member La verdad es que es preocupante que El Arte de Morir sea una de las pocas películas españolas que se pueden ver en EEUU y en el resto del mundo, aunque sea en círculos limitados. Bueno, ya sé que una película de terror (eso es lo que pretende ser), sea buena o mala, siempre vende más que un drama, y si no no hay más que ver el ejemplo de Darkness, de Jaume Balagueró. La cinta de ÁLvaro Fernández Armero es mediocre, recurre a los sustos fáciles, aunque por suerte no cae en la tentación de la sangre y en la casquería barata. Aparte de eso, es una típica película de terror/sustos de jóvenes, tan de moda en el cine de Hollywood hace unos años. Sigue los patrones habituales en ese subgénero, los personajes van cayendo uno a uno. Lo único que se salva de la quema absoluta, nunca mejor dicho, es el final, y las breves apariciones del gran Emilio Gutiérrez Caba. El resto, para olvidar... Un saludo! Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member [font=Fixedsys]El Arte de Morir-I cannot recommend this film. Described as a slasher, but is really a thriller that doesn't exactly thrill. [/font] [font=Fixedsys]Spanish film. The story of six friends with a deadly secret. Four years earlier, their friend Nacho, a rather arrogant artist whose work revolved around the idea of death, disappeared without a trace. The re-investigation of Nacho's disappearance brings the friends back together, and someone begins killing them off one by one. Yeah, very original story.:rolleyes: [/font] [font=Fixedsys]Okay performances, a few tense moments, but this movie is nothing special. Starts out as a "straight" thriller, but it tries to bring in the inevitable twists and turns that have been done before in better movies.[/font] [font=Fixedsys]*and during the last few minutes of the film, the voices did not match up with the lips of the actors. Nitpicker, I am.[/font] Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
