Penumbra 2012

Now i loved this films directors last film, 'sudor frio', so i was looking forward to this. And it doesnt fail in its mission to slowly crank up the tension and occasionally confuse you. A woman, who is a complete bitch from the start, is brokering a deal with someone to rent a flat just as an eclipse is going to start. Alas people keep turning up at the flat and not leaving and none of them seem to know much about selling property, and her phone keeps messing up, and shes lost her keys. i feel a eclipse worshipping sect looking for a sacrifice coming on. It isnt really that simple and it twists about a bit at the end, is she mad, were there several people doing wierd astral voyage stuff in her flat? not sure to be honest but it was good.

BLOOD/VIOLENCE - 2/5 - a decapitation but thats about it
SEX/NUDITY - 1/5 - a girl gets oiled up but not in a good way
SCARES - 3/5 - tension, tension, tension

FILM - 4/5 - a worthy addition to the 'watch this spanish film' list
