Las tinieblas

While lots of mysterious and intriguing things happen, you won't be satisfied unless you like not getting answers in spades. This is definitely another It comes at night , like other people have noted. At least with that one you get a good idea of what's happening. This one felt like someone really wanted to make a movie but left things undone because of lack of budget. I cant recommend this. Its too bad. Had some great things going for it.

I don't mind films with narratives that are a bit vague and can be left open to interpretation by the viewer, but there is a limit, and for me this film went way over that limit. It set up compelling mystery after compelling mystery in the first 2 acts then ended abruptly with no answers to any of them. When the film ended I felt cheated, it was like the filmmakers had no idea how to answer any of the mysteries their film had set up in the first 2 acts so decided to not even bother trying and instead introduced even more mysteries into the 3rd act that were left unanswered as well.

I can think of at least half a dozen plot threads in this film that were left unanswered, and I don't just mean left open to interpretation by the viewer, but unanswered. That's not fun, that's not artsy, that's just plain good old fashioned poor storytelling. It's a shame because the first 2 acts that set everything up were so good.

4/10

A very visually stunning, and moody atmospheric film. Had amazing potential. Should be an 8 but went nowhere and is only a half baked idea. Shame.

Nothing happens, don't waste your time watching this film. The whole argument could be reduced to 10-15 seconds.

I'm not sure what reviewers who wrote "boring" or "nothing happens", were expecting, but this film was captivating. It is NOT in the genre of Marvel action films, so don't watch it if thats what you're hoping for. This film would best be described rather, as "understated", "beguiled". Definitely an artful thriller.
