El hombre del saco

No pun intended - the movie is supposed to give us a new legacy ... a new ... well for lack of a better word (and the English title suggests as much anyway) ... boogeyman! Yes that is what it is called in Germany (and I reckon the same is true for the English/international release of the movie too).

The beginning is quite strong - even if we didn't know we are watching a horror movie, even if the movie did not already told us that it is a horror movie ... the setting, the way an "old man" is talking to a kid ... we know what we are going to get. And as the horror movie cliche goes ... we get that early shocker ... usually that is done and then you get some slower storytelling and all that ... here you get a second shocker thrown in for good measure ... whatever you make of it.

It is decent enough I reckon, the story flows fine too ... if you like horror ... well you could watch worse. Effects are ok too.
