This classy and competent offering is what we have come to expect from recent Spanish horror/thriller fare. Yet this tale of Julia, who is gradually losing her sight, and investigating the death of her already blind sister falls somewhat flat mid-way though.
One suspects that without the Del Toro endorsement, this would have slipped under the radar like arguably superior, more effective efforts as EskalofrÃo (aka. Shiver, 2008) or the co-Spanish-Argentine Aparecidos (aka The Appeared, 2007) of recent similar vein.
