I was surprised by how well the film is shot. Lots of muted colours and the guest house has a dreary nightmarish quality about it. It's all surprisingly stylish for such a low budget movie.
But the storyline is fairly pointless and shallow. There are no sympathetic characters really and it's not even particularly gory or shocking. Any film that can make torture seem quite dull isn't really doing its job properly, is it?
No mention of this film being in spanish only, and subtitled in English it's a bit annoying, but the general story line is good.
