What's weird about this movie is not how weird it is.
What's weird is that the weirdness is wasted at the end.
I really liked and enjoyed the atmosphere, I thought I was getting a lot of hidden messages, a lot of signs that would make sense in the end, when the revelation comes, but nope!
The end comes with a "twist" if you can call it that, which, even if you like it or not, it feels like all the build up has been wasted.
The backgrounds are loaded with detail which seems to hold meaning, the robotic attitudes of the inhabitants of the town seems to have something to do with what's going on..
I totally get what's the message at the end, I just think that (even if it's an important one) the movie could have done something bigger and crazier.
It's a bit of a disappointment, almost an anticlimactic ending, after so much tense atmosphere built up, and being what the ending is, some things don't make sense.
Also, there are way too many long scenes of static angles where nothing happens. Also seemingly to create some sort of tension, which in the end is gone on something completely unrelated.
The characters are bizarre, the kind that makes them interesting, humorous too, if you're familiar with Spanish accents and culture.
Cinematography is sometimes inspired, sometimes amateurish.
It's a mixed bag for me, I can't say it's bad, but I would be unsure to recommend it.
Probably better if you're a Spanish speaker and know Spanish culture, and like bizarre, creepy looking characters, this could be something you'd enjoy.
