Laura, with her husband and her son, goes back the old orphanage where she was raised when she was a child with the idea of create a home for kids with disabilities.
The orphanage is a mix between "The others" and "Poltergeist". The film is wonderfully shot, the story is well told, the score suits the movie and Belen Rueda's performance is fantastic.
The film is better than just scary. As the movies advances, you grow more and more uneasy on your seat even when sometimes you see it coming.
Unlike many of the recent horror flicks, you won't see a bloodbath or gores scenes. The filmmaker manages to create an intense atmosphere all the film long, where the worst isn't what you see but what you can imagine that happened. Still, you'll jump from your seat a couple of times (that's guaranteed).
The weakest part of the film is towards the middle, a 10 minutes length scene, a carbon copy of Poltergeist.
Overall, a must to see, a classic to be. Highly enjoyable film with some minor flaws.
