For the true horror lover who sifts through piles of gore and mediocre efforts to find those hidden gems, THIS IS ONE.It is arguably my favorite movie, forget genre.Such a beautifully told story with an inconceivable meaning and plot. So original. It is a piece of art next to other movies, such as The Conjuring, which are good in their own right, but rely on jump scares which pale in comparison to truly terrifying moments of drawn out suspense and fright of the utterly unknown. It is a study in how to use computer effects subtly, so that they are not recognizable as fake occurrences.So memorable. So many moments of awesome.....

The movie in one and a half lines: A guy moves to his recently passed away mother. Totally random, no sense and useless things happen.The end.Don't try to act like a movie expert that feels the art of this piece and is capable of understanding a hundred of ideas passed by the it... Just accept: this movie sucks more than everything.I don't need bloody, scary movies, what I need is movies that express something interesting. And what this one expresses is boring as... There is no word for this.My advice: don't waste your time watching this. The trailers look really good (the movie actually has some good elements), but it evolves to nothing and boringness.

It's weird they labeled this as horror. Well, maybe the horror comes from the realization in the end - your mother killed herself over loneliness and your guilt haunted you so bad that you had to hallucinate supernatural things in order to come to terms with it (and many other things). It's a terrifying situation, but this is no horror flick. It would be better depicted as drama. And it deserved more time - Vanessa Redgrave deserved to shine and dazzle us on screen. Certain aspects of it were undeveloped (it had a chance of turning into a very good horror flick on the dad, but they simply ignored it) and some were overrated (the thing with statues? Doctor Who did it already. I spent the whole time warning myself not to blink and remembering David Tennant's monologue on the Weeping Angels). But I found it nice. It didn't bore me to death, it had a surprise in the end, the atmosphere was good to follow, the acting wasn't bad... It's one of those movies you jut think "it could do so much better", you know? But I can't say it was bad. It was decent entertainment after all.

I don't know what other users expected or wanted to see...But I actually liked this one.Gudiño's first shot at not shorts. He quite nailed it! Gudiño takes us into the very self of his characters; we get to know them, to feel what they felt. Guy enters mother's home in hopes of selling, because she has passed away; guy starts to feel, hear, see things...It looks like the very same formula, but, Gudiño takes it one step up, if not a couple more.Innovation finally arrives in this genre. A great start to build a pretty good future for Gudiño.
