Blucher One of the worst movies I've ever seen

Ameriatch One of the best films i have seen

Brightlyme i know i wasted 90 mins of my life.

CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

Hunky Stud Well, I am surprised that there are only seven comments so far. So I am adding another one even though I didn't plan to write one.This movie is pretty good, entertaining. However, it has some scenes that don't make sense. For example, when Juan was outside with his family, all of sudden, he saw something strange. He just followed that strange thing without even saying goodbye to his family. Then, somehow in the end, he ended up in his office?And in the end, what is the reason that he wants to lock his own children? That doesn't seem to make much sense, either.The concept is good, maybe someday someone from Hollywood can make another version of this movie.

dbdumonteil Amenabar 's "los ostros" (the others) is now a milestone for Spanish directors .That film overshadows every other work of the last ten years as a complete and perfect fantasy and horror film.(and Amenabar's two precedent films are at least as important and innovative) "Nos miran" is a decent attempt.His main subject -the dead are watching us and are jealous of us cause they are no longer part of the game- is ambitious and the director is not always up to scratch: the subway/train trick was already used too many times ("Jacob's ladder" ,the Spanish "Art of Dying" which is cast in the same mold ,or Autant-Lara's "Marguerite de la nuit").However the writers have included interesting elements: the cop's own story,the grandma who seems to know more things than she claims.And ,mainly in the first part,the director does not forget to show some ambiguity: everything can only happen in the hero's mind.Fortunately,special effects are kept to the minimum,which builds a threatening atmosphere.Not bad.

barkerking This film is, basically, "The X-Files meets Without a Trace". Easy explanation. A young boys sees her daughter been abducted by an eerie supernatural force and becomes a specialist about abducted people. In the same way as Mulder (even his partner/wife is redhead), he lives only for his job, don't take care of his family and no one believes his creepy theories. Finally he is abducted in the same way in the mood of protecting his relatives. It reminds the Mulder arc story from the beginning of the 1st Season to the end of the 7th. Norberto López Amado does an uninspired directing of this movie and wastes acting talent of all the cast (its a shame how Karra Elejalde looks on screen)."Nos miran" is another unsuccessful try of doing a Spanish scary movie and the list is getting longer. Jaume Balagueró (Darkness, Fragile), Paco Plaza (Romasanta, Second Name) and Brian Yuzna's friends from Fantastic Factory (this is worst that the late films from Troma) should look for better scripts in order to satisfy the audience.

jotix100 I was curious about this film, which I watched in DVD format. The film is based on a book by Javier Garcia Sanchez, "Los Otros", which by the way, it's the title of a better known film, "The Others", by Alejandro Amenabar. What I still don't know is whether Amenabar was inspired on this novel, or as the IMDb page indicates, he wrote his own screen play.Directed by Norberto Lopez Amado, this film came out after the more commercially successful Amenabar's movie. It's strange to have two movies about more or less the same theme filmed by two totally different directors, giving also two different accounts. If you haven't seen the movie, stop reading right here."Nos Miran" is a horror story. It starts in a flashback when we see a group of children playing in a railroad yard. Young Juan loses a dare and must lie flat on his back while an incoming train goes over him. At the same time, his young sister disappears in mysterious circumstances. The story goes forward as we watch a grown up Juan, now married to Julia, with two children of his own, a boy, and a girl. Juan works for the police department where he is given the task of solving the mystery surrounding the disappearance of a wealthy man. In pursuit of this goal, Juan discovers a link to the case when he is referred to go to an insane asylum to try to talk to the police detective that was involved with the case, originally, and now is a lunatic. The only thing he gets out of this person is: "They're watching us".This is a Gothic tale where reality and the perception of life in other dimensions blend to give a spooky feeling that yes, we are in reality being watched. But is the director referring to an abstract idea, or is he giving his own input in why people in his own country disappeared because of political turmoil? Knowing that Spanish directors, in general, love to have their own input about how they feel about their country, one wonders if the "disappeared ones" are the ones that either had to go away for fear of their lives, or are they the ghost of the "disappeared" in the civil conflict?Although the film has a vague ending, it creates an atmosphere of mystery and menace lurking behind everything in Juan's house. We don't ever know what really happened with Juan. All we know is that he has been wounded in a leg, but that is not the reason for his demise.Carmelo Gomez does his best work, in one's humble opinion, in this movie. His performance is multi layered. He expresses his confusion and his fear in a way that he hasn't done before. Either he responded to the material, or to the director, or he liked what he is doing here. Iciar Bollain, has nothing to do in the movie. The veteran Margarita Lozano is also totally wasted, as she stays away from the mystery that is at the center of the action in her own house. The children, Manuel Lozano and Carolina Petterson, are good in their portrayal of Alex and Laura.
