Ciubotariu Anca I liked this movie. Not so scary which is fine by me as I think what you can't see is scarier then a horrible looking ghost. The house has a gritty feeling about it which is well portrayed here, reflecting the more and more disturbing anomalies that begin to happen. Been Rueda is a good actress and very relatable as a mother whose child is missing. she is also o good looking women even thou she really shows her age. At the time of the movie she was 42 and showing her age but in the movie they made her 36 which is really not believable. why not say what you can see. overall a nice movie not to scary so you can watch it alone on a Friday night.

gusainrakesh I have seen many horror movies, but in this genre this will remain one of the most beautiful movies I have ever seen. To me it shares the same spot with pan's labyrinth on the top. On a wonderful story the acting from the cast is brilliant. The story starts to build slowly but it's the beauty that when you go inside the groove it becomes the different experience altogether. I like atmospheric movies and man the atmosphere of the movie is bone chilling and creepy yet beautiful. The colour of this movie is greyish which depicts the mood of the ordeal Laura was going through.There is nothing over the top in this movie. It's a sheer pleasure to watch it at any time. The ending in particular is awesome and it memory remains with you for a long time after this movie. This is the second time I have watched this movie and it still feels fresh. I could not believe that this is Bayona's directorial debut. If this is the start then I would like to see more films from him. Hats off to this movie. It will remain one of my all time favourite :).

mirandacfoster i found this movie, English trailer and everything, it looked really good, until i found out it wasn't actually in English. I'm dyslexic, i can barley type, let alone try and read English subtitles for and hour or 2. I find it extremely offensive that the US and Canada offer Spanish, french, Swedish etc. versions but a lot of other places (not all thank god) don't think to make English versions. If they did they would get a lot more positive reviews and make more money from the film. Even the girl with the dragon tattoo series made English versions, and i can honestly say i'm Very happy they did because its still a favorite series to this day. i love watching foreign movies because they have such creative, gory imaginations, and when they come in English that just makes it 10x better. I don't care that the original is in another language but at least convert it to English. I even found a french version over English which i was surprised about considering the worlds top three most spoken languages are Chinese, Spanish and English. So unfortunate and disappointing about this movie. No stars given, since i cant even watch it.

andreimakarov This is my first review in over 10 years of IMDb usage. My fault, but I mostly find existing reviews sufficient enough, some close to truth, some a little further. Some a bit too angry, some a little too lustrous.But this time. I just couldn't resist. This movie is absolutely stunning with almost no drawbacks. I have seen a lot of horrors, gore, fantasy, and this is such a perfect mixture of drama, thriller and suspenseful horror that you simply mustn't miss it. Go for it. Have no doubt. It is worth it from the first second till the very last tune in the titles.
