Soothing cinematography for the eyes but snoozefest for the brain.

Even at a runtime of 80 mins i found it to be extremely boring.

A father leaves a complete stranger at his house which is situated in the middle of nowhere n inhabited by 4 young girls.

The movie has too many questions unanswered.

There is nothing scary or not an ounce of thrill present in the movie.

I have seen some of the best Spanish thrillers like The Invisible Guest, The Body, Marshland, Boy Missing, Secret in their Eyes, Wild Tales, The Orphanage, The Platform, Sleep Tight, The Hidden Face, Julia's Eyes, etc but this one is a big letdown.

Viggo Mortensen's Captain Fantastic, Eastwood's Beguiled, Selma Blair's The Tall Man n Morgan Freeman's Gone Baby Gone will come to mind while viewing this.

I am generous with a 6 for the excellent cinematography n the sun soaked settings, especially the house in the middle of nowhere with lottuva trees n sunlight.

So dire, there's nothing to review

I wish I had even an inkling of a clue what the heck this movies was all about. The parents had some kind of secret but we never discovered what the secret was. It must have warranted jail time if it had been uncovered, because the father didn't dare take his dying daughter, after a car accident, to a hospital. Then it seems they buried her in the grounds of their smallholding.

Suddenly a stranger appears and he looks well dodgy from the outset. Later, the mother discovers pictures of young girls in his car that had been hidden among the trees. One of the girls also found press cuttings describing the fate of several young girls. Whether the family was responsible and this is the secret they're trying to keep hidden, or whether the interloper was somehow involved, we shall never know. A complete waste of 90 minutes.
