Despite being somewhat of a cinematic cliché, rarely has a feature been so aptly deserving of its description as a film of two halves. ¨La Cara Oculta¨or ¨The Hidden Face¨ is a compelling tale of intersecting narratives, in a feature that could quite easily be released as two separate film.

This is an intriguing and suspenseful Colombian/Spanish co-production full of thrills, chills and twists and turns. Could Belén be reaching out from beyond the grave for vengeance? Or is there something even more sinister at play ? It does have mysterious happenings in a big, spooky house along with pain, suffering of one or two scorned women. Fabiana, begins to spend time in the house alone she starts hearing noises and experiencing odd events. However her opening few days at her new residence are tainted by a paranoia that she is being haunted, following a string of mystifying incidents taking place in the bathroom and bedroom. The pair fall madly in love as Fabiana moves in with her new lover. Her sudden disappearance leaves Adrián dejected, confused but keen to move on, as he swiftly becomes romantically involved with barmaid Fabiana (Martina García). Then the orchestra conductor has to deal with the mysterious disappearance of his girlfriend and he is main suspect. (I cannot really explain further, but I will say it adds to the emotional trauma.) I am grateful to Fox World Cinema for picking this one up - a real gem.Ī Spanish orchestra conductor named Adrián (Quim Gutiérrez) receives a video message from his sweetheart Belén (Clara Lago), in which she breaks up with him, after that, she is suddenly disappeared. But as the film went on, I realized that the nudity was not there for an exploitative reason and actually plays an important role as the film goes on. I was a little torn on the nudity and sexuality. It is a very strong film with no perfect characters - the emotions here are also real and very mixed, just like real life. There is nothing in this film that could not happen in real life, and if you dread isolation, starvation or claustrophobia. The imagery is solid, the terror real and plausible. Definitely one of the most suspenseful films in recent memory. I usually reserve the 8 for the top notch films, but this film was just so close to that mark I feel bad giving it a 7. I wish that IMDb had half stars, because I was torn between a 7 and an 8. A Spanish orchestra conductor (Quim Gutierrez) deals with the mysterious disappearance of his girlfriend (Clara Lago).
