..... but that's about all it's got going for it. The pacing is so slow it's almost stationary. The characters are unsympathetic, the backstory is muddy and silly. There are no scares or jumps and they somehow manage to suck all suspense out of the scenes that could have been scary. Maybe it works as a family drama about religious fanaticism and grief - I don't know, so if that's your genre of choice you might enjoy it. But if you're a horror fan or into spooky chillers or suspenseful thrillers look elsewhere. The snooze-fest story was capped off by an out of character ending so ludicrous and over the top I could only laugh at it. Nothing in the preceding story lent any credence to that ending - it was there as a desperate attempt to "shock and awe" but ends up amusing and making people roll their eyes. I don't know if the original Spanish version is any better but it sure as hell couldn't be worse. If I was you I'd try that one instead of this one.
