Synopsis: Julia (Rueda) has a degenerative eye disease. Her sister who suffered the same disease became blind and suddently commited suicide. Julia starts to investigate while her condition deteriorates and her husband Isaac (Homar) wants her to move forward.
Review: The most terrifying in this Guillermo Del Toro production is to identify yourself to the main character losing her sight, and the question in background of what would you do if you lost one sense? Would you accept it or not? The subjective view through her eyes progressively filled with dark patches is an easy trick to make the viewer feel involved. Another nice trick is not to show the face of people surrounding the main character when she becomes blind. This gives a good feeling of not knowing what is around. The story slowly reveales itself, some unexpected turns keep the movie interesting until the second half that I found too long. My final rating is an average beteen 5/10 for the story and 7/10 for the direction.
Rating: 6 /10
