3/5
The choices are deliberate, creating a kind of color version of film noir, complete with the dread and fear of annihilation. Go to Full Review

7/10
A by-the-book detective thriller, Infiesto pays homage to Nic Pizzolatto's mythical series' True Detective and succeeds in entertaining and putting the viewer on the edge of their seat... [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review

2.5/5
If a standard crime thriller with a relatively engaging story and a soothingly familiar formula are what you’re after, this movie delivers. Go to Full Review
Chris Joyce Movies and Munchies (YouTube) 02/03/2023
2.5/5
The acting is decent with characters that are brooding and slightly mysterious, and the lore that’s introduced lends itself to becoming dark and twisted, but the lack of time spent delving into the lore reduces any uneasiness and deeper mystery. Go to Full Review
Mikel Zorrilla Espinof 02/03/2023
3/5
On the one hand, it offers a harrowing atmosphere and a case that is engaging enough to make the movie fly by. On the other... it feels like the movie is riding the brakes. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review

Daniel G Feb 1 Somber cinematography that portrayed the early impact of the pandemic very well - there was a feeling of end of the world. Solid acting, but ultimately the plot was actually quite weak. How could a cult go undetected so long? How did the leader of the cult be so hidden in plain site? Where did all the cops go when one detective goes down a mine shaft by herself? See more Eoin K 11/25/2023 Like a few comments here, poor film.....waiting for a twist that never came (or obvious when it came). The scene where a cop goes down a mineshaft in a lift alone despite 10-20 colleague's nearby was just annoying. See more edward h 06/03/2023 Don't exactly know what all the negativity was about but I truly enjoyed this movie. Had all the ingredients of a good thriller: engrossing, suspenseful, gritty and an unexpected climax! The mood, setting and cinematography were excellent. Truly loved it!!! See more Ghabryell 05/31/2023 Sinceramente, esse filme é tão ruim que nem nota merece. See more T T 03/06/2023 It was on ok movie. The acting was ok. It's watchable, but it's been done many times before and was predictable. Also, having it take place during the Covid pandemic did not really add anything. In fact, it was a nuisance and a reminder of that frustrating time. Finally, trying to link the "end of times" to a relatively stupid flu-like virus, like Covid, is pretty dumb. See more Wolfgang G 02/27/2023 Infiesto ist ein Thriller von Patxi Amezcua… Ein spanisches Polizeidrama, zwei Detektives auf der Jagd nach den Verantwortlichen einer Entführung… Die Handlung wird in einem (bildlich bräunlichen) linearer Strang erzählt, der Polizeithriller wandelt sich in laufe zu einem Folk-Horror-Thriller… Die Geschichte ist solide und gut erzählt, die Schauspielerische Leistung ist überdurchschnittlich… solide Unterhaltung, aber nicht perfekt.
