Jonathan Holland Variety Jul 18, 2006
A slick, derivative, too-obvious psychodrama with a superficially stylish air that's too thin to conceal its lack of substance. Go to Full Review Pablo Villaça Cinema em Cena Jul 18, 2006
3/5
As timas atuaes de Ariadna Gil e do garotinho Muoz, associadas fotografia dessaturada e montagem que constri um clima cada vez mais inquietante, merecem aplausos. Infelizmente, o roteiro falha gravemente em seu desfecho. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Aug 15, 2013 Me gustó bastante la película See more Dec 9, 2009 Una visión extraña, paranormal? En definitiva una película original, de un final inesperado? A veces se sospecha, no por eso deja de ser impactante, además el final es el que realmente aporta el sentido a la historia, deja buen sabor de boca.... See more Dec 9, 2009 En DVD Interesante historia "sobrenatural", inquietante, que te mete un no se que en el cuerpo y un final inesperado. Una buena composicion musical bastante original y actuaciones aceptables. Con doble lectura, tal vez mas, plantea muchas cosas y situaciones que alguna ve todos o algunos hemos vivido. See more Oct 27, 2008 I had to give my own 4 stars for this because I was absolutely terrified, hahaha~~ I am easy to scare maybe. But the movie freaked me out nonetheless. However, I don't know if she's loony or her family had been absorbed into that faerie realm.. See more Aug 3, 2008 Very far from perfect, but worth the watch, especially for fans of the genre. See more Jul 11, 2008 A very confusing plot. Could be better. See more Read all reviews
