Emma Wolfe SpookyAstronauts The blocking this film was fantastic... the power play between the characters is really something to look out for. Rated: 7/10 Apr 22, 2021 Full Review Jorge Loser Espinof A return to Alex de la Iglesia's style, in which he continues to miss the visual achievements of his first era, but that, with some limitations, takes up the pulse of his good cinema. [Full Review in Spanish] Aug 16, 2019 Full Review Toni Vall Cinemanía (Spain) Smart and vibrant. [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 3.5/5 Mar 12, 2018 Full Review Cristina Aparicio Caimán Cuadernos de Cine [Director] Álex de la Iglesia finds a way to orchestrate a solid, coherent and controlled outcome, against the 'anything goes' present in some of his previous long films. [Full review in Spanish] Jan 17, 2018 Full Review Pablo O. Scholz Clarín Suspicions and doubts go through everyone. [Full review in Spanish] Nov 20, 2017 Full Review Anton Bitel SciFiNow In lex de la Iglesia's metropolitan siege flick, humans prove the deadliest virus... The result is an over-the-top, below-the-bottom comic melodrama that in the end puts human behaviour under the microscope. Aug 28, 2017 Full Review Read all reviews

Nad B Entertaining Its fun Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/27/25 Full Review Pedro G Muy buena película, una cinta que no entiendo como a mucha gente no le gusta. Una historia muy interesante e innovadora, con momentos de suspenso y hasta con toques de comedia, sumado a algunos giros que te mantienen entretenido desde el principio hasta el final. La única cosa que no me cerró es el final ya que a pesar de que el mensaje que da la película queda claro, me hubiese gustado alguna explicación a todo lo que pasó y no que lo dejaran sin respuestas. Por otro lado, hay que destacar las actuaciones de Mario Casas, Blanca Suárez, Carmen Machi, Jaime Ordóñez, etc. En conclusión, una muy buena película bastante infravalorada en mi opinión, ya que tiene una trama muy original y sumamente entretenida en la que lo único que no me termina de convencer es su final, que esta un poco fuera de lugar en cuanto a lo que venia planteándose. Muy recomendada. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/18/24 Full Review avant s the supposed comedy got lost in translation, overall it was a decent watch. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review nilufer e It was a weird little movie with a suspenseful and kind of thrilling plot and some good acting. There were some rather disgusting parts but the human behavior was handled correctly. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Interesting and clever plot. Can not stop thinking about the movie. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review Audience Member Fun for one view. The movie falls apart in the details. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Read all reviews
