Regrettably, Phenomena doesn't have a clearly defined audience in mind which makes it an ambiguous product without a clear identity. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review

Generally, a fairly capable film in which the work of its leading trio stands out. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review

It's a barely comprehensible mess. It's too bad, because the trio of spirit hunters -- played by the energetic Rueda, Olayo, and Acosta -- are fun to watch. Go to Full Review

Phenomena is a little stale in premise, but spirited enough in execution to warrant a watch. Go to Full Review

2.5/5
The overuse of every ghost investigation trope you can use, from using a spirit board to possession, is pretty funny to see all thrown into one room. Go to Full Review

It may not be as fondly remembered as some other modern Spanish films on Netflix, but Phenomena does the job of entertaining the viewer. With horror elements and a light-hearting tone that turns darker the further the film progresses. Go to Full Review

Justin T May 7 I enjoyed this more than I was expecting even though it is very uneven because of the tonal shifts. There are three great sequences with some mildly entertaining filler. The balance of comedy and horror or thriller is excellent along with the acting and casting. The film has a high production quality throughout. The story and characters are engaging even in the filler sections. It feels like an original film. Some investment in characters leads to nothing and it feels like it's desperately trying to justify a sequel or be accurate to a book which doesn't work well. Overall fairly enjoyable and certainly held my attention through the excellent set pieces.

The hokey moments are supposed to be funny - but it had actual potential. And these ladies can smoke! See more FunkoPasion L 05/07/2023 The first part is very good, the second is decent and the third is too mediocre. The leading trio is not bad at all and some secondary ones are fine. The final villain did not fully convince me and the movie in general is not very original. Overall have a good time.
