Now THIS is terror!

Rating: 9/10 (20 February 2008)

I truly enjoyed this movie, from beginning to end. I literally jumped in my seat like five or six times, my heart was racing all through the movie. I don't know any of the director's previous work, but you can clearly see Del Toro's influence on the film. An awesome storyline and a superb, though brief, performance by Geraldine Chaplin, (I didn't know her Spanish was so fluent). I highly recommend this film if you want to get scared, you will get your money's worth and so much more! I was completely spooked on my way home from the theater. Only a few movies have really dealt with ghosts properly in the last few years: The Others, The Sixth Sense and of course Del Toro's own, The Devil's Backbone... This one is right up there with them!
