08/10/2024 Grotesque lead characters - I lasted 20mins then walked away - what a waste of my time. See more Chris G 02/20/2024 Poor ending . Not explained. See more 04/06/2021 Just take the really bad, unpolite , chauvenous policeman of a bad 80s film and see a woman found the same... Not good, not credible and over acting. See more 01/25/2021 A serial killer in Greater Madrid is leaving murdered victims posed in positions from famous Goya paintings? One, please! Unfortunately, the film does little in terms of thrills and shock (with one notable exception) and continues with detective stereotypes so played-out they've exited the fashion cycle completely. Det. Carmen Cobo (Maribel Verdú) is the liquor-in-the-coffee, chain-smoking, child-hating half of the duo assigned to the strange case; her "better" half is Eva (Aura Garrido), a family-woman who enjoys karaoke as much as her children. The first half of the film gives us a couple of murders, but they almost feel like little reminders that this is a murder investigation instead of the film concerning Carmen's sexual endeavors with a couple/few(?) different men, one being her boss. There was also an infuriating scene wherein Carmen, out on her own searching for the killer, finds a suspicious white van that eventually leads to a chase — she's found him. However, instead of calling in the van and having any number of patrol cars aid her in the chase, she calls her obviously sleeping partner and gives her shit for not answering even though Carmen was doing her own thing. The plot does disclose why Carmen hates children, which I guess is nice, but discovering who the killer(s) was/were, rendered little more than an "oh, okay" out of this viewer. This movie is pretty new, so I won't spoil the ending, but there's a shocking scene towards the end that I appreciated. Is El Asesino de Los Caprichos (The Goya Murders) an edge of your seat thriller? No. Is it original? Kind of. Is it good? Not really. Do not recommend. See more Read all reviews
