3.5/5

Someone said that the actors are not directed, they are chosen... fragile and strong, wounded and determined, the protagonist of The Invisible Guardian is the perfect choice. [Full review in Spanish]

In spite of the good work of its cast, the film is shipwrecked in its badly repressed desire to transcend the letter of the crime. [Full review in Spanish]

In spite of his youth, there's much effort, control, narrative and visual wisdom from the director Fernando Gonzlez Molina. But there's no brilliance. [Full review in Spanish]

A film with a certain visual appeal spoiled by an improved narrative due to poor construction of both the story itself and the characters. [Full review in Spanish]

At a time when spanish thriller it's gaining popularity, this film contributes little to the genre when it could have transformed some of the conventions of current noir. [Full review in Spanish]

I love Spanish horror. Not this. Meh. Pure Netflix fodder.

A rather bizarre crime mystery involving hatred, impurity, vengeance & all wrapped up with familial ties. Worth the watch to figure what broken pieces fit this puzzle with a cryptic cryptid thrown in.

Below average movie. It's the first part of a trilogy. The story is barely ok, but not really good. The lead detective/protagonist is incompetent, unlikeable, and annoying. Bad acting. Good cinematography though. If you have nothing better to do, it's worth watching.
