FuzzyTagz If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

Jenna Walter The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

Roy Hart If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

Ella-May O'Brien Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

suchenwi I bought this film for 3€ at Woolworth's, and after checking the comments here, which all sounded quite negative, I wasn't hurried to watch it.. until today. And given all the plot holes and silly effects, I must say I had an interesting, and not all-bad experience.Let me explain. My Spanish hearing ability is close to not much, but I bought this partly because it had Spanish soundtrack, and as a linguist I'm always happy to get a lesson. Coordinating the spoken Spanish with the German subtitles keeps me busy, even if nothing much happens. But it did.Maybe too much, maybe an avalanche of horrific moments (at the zoo.. in the subway.. in the mannequin disco, etc.) was somewhat over the top. Maybe too many locked-door experiences, from university lab to restaurant to subway station (again)..That's another point. I love train movies, and by extension subway movies, and this one provided quite much of it. Not only the train on the track, but the whole claustrophobia of subterranean walkways.. Money Train (NY), Tube (Seoul), Kontroll (Budapest), and now this entry for Madrid. Of course mostly CGI, but quite well done. In fact, the little girl with a forklift problem reminded me nicely of both Kontroll and Staplerfahrer Klaus.Plagiarisms? Quotes? Allusions? I can't say. But all in all, I liked this film - not for perfect quality, but for provoking many thoughts (and mostly not bad ones).

lost-in-limbo Two university students want to go to party, but one of them has an assessment due in the next day so the pair head to the library to copy and paste an essay from the Internet and presto the job is done. But while on the computer they accidentally stumble across a chat room and meet a person that calls himself or herself Kellar. This user asks them if they would like to be part of a game, without knowing what they are getting themselves into they accepts the challenge. From now on a group of university students become trapped in what they first consider a game, run by an unseen force. But soon the game turns their world upside down by turning into a frenetic nightmare and murder becomes part of it all.Hell! What a confusing mess. Is this flick suppose to be high-tech paranoia thriller that's doing a social commentary on the use of technology and how it can become an intrusion in our lives? If so the material doesn't provide any insight, actually it seems there to cover its shortage of new ideas, by ripping off every other horror/thriller films in the last couple of years. It lacks any sense of creativity and it tries to be remotely clever in its premise that is plain laughable. The surprises are predictable because we've seen them all before. I don't want to name the films it borrows from, as it would spoil the story, but you'll definitely know when you see it. It throws in one or two jump scares, actually there was a real lack of anything that resembled scares and suspense. It might not be highly original, but that was its least of its problem. That goes to how tediously boring it was! The excitement levels fly like a bullet… NOT! Because most the time your waiting for interesting things to happen, sure there's a lot of chasing about and bizarre tricks. But you'll be yelling, "Come on, just get on with it!" because it all leads to nothing and just what the heck was going on!? When it comes to its conclusion you want to know how does that all work? Because its just highly ridiculous compared with what first started off. Nothing is explained and was there a hint of the supernatural? It's a frustrating maze of confusion with too many things that don't add up and make you go "huh?" The ponderously shallow and I wouldn't have clue what your on about script doesn't help either and the performances are so mundane that the extras added more to the flick than their blank expressions could.The garnished production looks top shape, um but that's it! It tries to be disturbing in its context and violence, but it fails miserably. The editing was rather disconnected and the special effects lacked simplicity and noisy sound effects were atrocious. I'll be damn the story is bubbling with a lot imagination, ah no that's mind-numbing clichés, you get stupid actions taken by teens, people being stalk by a menacing shadow, people going off alone and *yawn*. So the point was? To scare us, failed. To give us a satire, failed. So what does it equal? It's nothing surprising with too much riff raff and absurdity that you leaves you going *hmm* what a waste of time.It's a film that wants to be something that it just doesn't eventuate into. Physcological gripping… no way, a demanding mystery… you got to be kidding. Sigh, honestly who cares? When watching static on your TV is more entertaining, that's far from a good thing. P.S Maybe I'm being too hard on it, but it just really rubbed me up the wrong way.

skylane_pictures This film is... uuh... let me think carefully..... crap.A rather expensive movie with teenagers, Madrid's underground, things directly ripped off from another (American) movies, cheese blue screen effects and an ineffective aura of silly mystery which fails to absorb the viewer. The plot is unbearable twisted and laden with absurd, unreal situations, appropriate only for the stoned mind (situations in Jacob's Ladder are generally more believable), and seems to lead to nowhere, until the very end of the movie, when you really realise how silly this movie is! Not only that; in my opinion this movie's been an awful attempt to imitate the typical American teenager-murder movie, so we are landed with the very worst of Spanish films and the very worst of pop-corn Hollywood films. Spain is not a good country for film-making, I should say. In Spain you can only make certain kinds of movies. Moving out of that is shown to lead to dreadful consequences. Not only the budgets are usually very tight; so seems to be Spanish filmmakers' imagination & taste(OK, pick out a few such as A. Amenábar, Álex de la Iglesia, Santiago Segura or Javier Fesser). Did you know that in DVD&Video Rental stores, 'Spanish films' is shown as a whole category? That reinforces the concept I presented earlier: Spain is not a country where a filmmaker can develop, generally. I'll tell you more: Spanish movies' box office is known to do ill most of the times (with a few exceptions like the blockbusting saga 'Torrente' by S. Segura). People here go to American movies most of the time. Should we try to compete and make movies which people will like better that those (quote) stupid American movies with a lot of FX&budget but horrible everythingelse? The answer is simple: NO; we'll do something easier: via advertisement we'll do out best to brainwash the audience into disliking American movies (and culture in general), which are utter crap, and liking OUR very dull film-making style, which is to be divine. That's brilliant thank you very much. "You need to watch more Spanish films"... like hell! Don't be fooled! Only YOU can decide what you need to watch! Sorry for the lengthy, vehement dissertation. In conclusion, if they wanted to make a horror movie, they've thoroughly succeeded; the movie is "horrible"1 out of 10

Joan The worst: the direction, the actors (specially Antonio Hortelano), the visual effects, and the horribleeee screemplay.The best: Laura Manzanedo, one of the spanish actresses of the future.I didn't recommend it to my worst enemy.
