... View MoreGood films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.
... View MoreThe plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
... View MoreLet me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.
... View MoreI like the quirky, sexy and visceral, England set horrors of Mr Larraz, but whilst this has some of the usual ingredients, spot on 70s clothes, hippies and gory kills, it lacks others. A plot for a start. We are introduced to the victim/killer at the start and although the young actress tries to give the character some character, this is a one not piece with little variance. So too with others, they are introduced, they die with barely any interaction.The usual sleazy sex is also missing and so much of this is set in a dark, deserted hotel with much creeping and chasing amidst the shadows. This didn't engage me from start to finish and although there are decent flashes it is a rather dull affair. Surprising, too, because this was made in the same year as and in between the splendid, Vampyres and Symtoms. Maybe the director just ran out of time, or interest.
... View MoreAfter terrible accident a young psychotic girl Emma stays in a psychiatric hospital.Emma is released from a mental hospital after she becomes involved with a lesbian nurse,whom she then murders after the nurse goes back to her husband,who's also brutally slashed to death with a razor.The girl's mother tries to hide her from the cops,but is stabbed to death as well.The finale of "Emma,puertas oscuras" takes place in an abandoned and gloomy mansion.Interesting and well-directed psycho-slasher made by Jose "Vampyres" Larraz.Some calculated and gory giallo-like stabbings,nudity and grim atmosphere make this obscurity worth checking out.There are some interesting and suspenseful stalk-and-slash sequences in "Emma,puertas oscuras",so if you are a fan of Castilian crimson give this rarity a chance.8 out of 10.A pleasant surprise.
