When detective inspector Juan Garcia (Carmelo Gómez) is assigned to a cold case involving a missing businessman, he comes upon evidence to suggest that something supernatural may have occurred.
Made after a slew of other supernatural thrillers such as 'The Others' by compatriot Alejandro Amenábar, director Norberto López Amado's film is only slightly creepy and intriguing. There's some suspense and doubt in the first half of the film but after a crazy ex-cop and a convenient knowledgeable priest fill in the blanks, the trajectory of the story is obvious. It doesn't help that some now-cliché devices, such as a subway train, are used to signal to the audience that something spooky will happen.
Spanish with English subtitles.
2 out of 5 stars.
