Laura (Goya Toledo), a child psychiatrist, is abducted and imprisoned in an underground room by Ramón (Darío Grandinetti), a serial killer. In return for her life and freedom, he forces her to play word games. In a parallel narrative, police detectives, lead by Comisario Espinosa (Fernando Guillén) and Inspector Sánchez (Eric Bonicatto) question Ramón regarding Laura's disappearance.
As the title suggests (and unlike the lurid disk cover), this psychological thriller creates a lot of suspense using suggestion and judicious editing; there is very little violence or gore. The events in the two parallel narratives track each other and lead you to believe you have kept up with the story until the twist at very end.
Spanish with English sub-titles.
3 out of 5 stars.
