Perfection

Rating: 10/10 (3 September 2019)

This may be the only "horror" movie that has managed to both creep me out and make me weep openly.
Belén Rueda is incredible as Laura, the mother of Simon, the young boy who goes missing early on in the film. The search for Simon takes many twists and turns, most of which lead through the dark past of the orphanage where Laura once lived and has now turned into a home for sick and special needs children.
I almost hate to call this a horror movie, because it's not necessarily "scary," but it definitely contains its share of chilling and downright terrifying moments as Laura tries to find her son and unravel the secrets the house is keeping.
And as much as I love horror, one of my biggest complaints with the genre is that so many movies have unsatisfying endings. Which gives me another reason to hesitate to call this film "horror," as it has one of the most stunning endings I've ever witnessed.
I can't recommend this movie enough. And if you're someone who doesn't like subtitles, trust me... you'll be so engrossed in the story from the get-go that you won't even realize that it's in another language.
