It's complicated... I really like the directing, acting and writing but, there are issues with the way it's shot that I just can't deny. As much as I love the storytelling and the fantastic performance but, there are also certain scenes that didn't need to exist.

When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

I love Spanish-language thrillers and horrors and whenever I need an escape from Hollywood, I would look up a nicely crafted mystery from the Latin regions."The Hidden Face" is about an orchestra conductor who's girlfriend mysterious disappears leaving him devastated and perplexed. Actually, unlike the aspiring conductor, the viewers know the whereabouts of his girlfriend, trapped in a secret room hidden away from plain sight. The thriller consists of the young woman's attempt to escape said room, which proves to be more than a difficult task.The plot sounds first-rate and the execution is not bad, however at times it did feel more like a Colombian soap-opera, especially the parts involving the conductor. The imprisoned woman's attempts at escape seem sound, but there are a couple of decision that would leave you questioning her actions. An interesting aspect of the movie is the one-way mirrors used to view the bedroom and bathroom from inside the hidden room, adding more to the captive's frustration after seeing the events occurring without her known presence."The Hidden Face" is a good thriller that emerges as a crowd-pleaser and is definitely worth a look at.

If hell hath no fury like a woman scorned, then what happens when two women become the victims? This is either a horror film, a thriller, or the blackest of black comedies – and one that is impossible to discuss without a SPOILER warning. This film is much better watched if you don't know anything about it – equally, the trailer is better avoided too.Flirty maestro, conductor Adrián (Quim Gutierrez) is first seen in a state of great personal trauma when attractive waitress Fabiana (Martina Garcia) helps him find happiness again. Adrian's previous girlfriend has gone missing, and it is possible Adrian has murdered her. Meanwhile, Fabiana moves in to his magnificent rented home, owned by a German lady. Pretty soon, Fabiana hears strange sounds in the house and believes it to be haunted.Then, in flashback, we are told of his previous girlfriend Belén (Clara Lago), who suspects (rightly) that Adrian is having an affair with Veronica, a member of his orchestra. The German owner of the house lets her into a secret: the house has an undisclosed, sound-proofed room behind the bathroom mirror. The secret room was built in case her Nazi husband needed to hide during the war. To teach Adrian a lesson, and to see if he really does have another woman, Belen hurriedly decides to hide in this room and watch his activities through the one-way mirrors. In her rush, she leaves the key in the bedroom, and so is trapped, with no way of letting anyone know of her predicament.Seeing Belen having to watch Adrian grieve for her, and then take another girlfriend is dark humour indeed. Slowly, Fabiana realises what is happening but decides to leave Belen trapped – she doesn't want a rival. It is only when Fabiana suspects Adrian of having an affair (again with Veronica, which – ironically – he has ended by this time) does she open the secret room. Belen is waiting, and has a vicious revenge in mind … However this film is categorised, it is beautifully paced and written. It begins slowly – perhaps too slowly, but builds in interest. The acting is top-notch throughout – both Belen and Fabiana are both occasionally (and intentionally) irritating, which makes their slightly irrational actions so believable, whereas Fabiana, although flawed, is caught unknowingly between the machinations of them both.

These Spaniards have proved more than once that they sure as hell know how to make a good movie. Once more, a movie of theirs turns out to be brilliant! The story starts abruptly but you get into it quite soon and with no problems. It contains more than one plot twists and it surely manages to keep you at the edge of your seat. Acting was brilliant on all sides involved and the setting, especially this amazing house was ideal. I am not going into any details about the plot or any spoiler of any kind, but I will say that this was the first movie after a long time that made me mad! For more than half an hour before the end, I was at the edge of my seat, rooting for my preferred ending, cursing and throwing stuff around each time something I did not like happened.I got into it completely, ignoring any rational thoughts (like, "chill dude, it's just a movie"). When a movie does that to you, then it's either a 9 or a 10, nothing less. This movie is a must-see of the few that exist out there. I loved the ending as well as the way in which it was reached... Just get your hands on it and watch it!
