The Argentinian release of this movie has it running at 152 minutes which would have been way too long. As it is the UK release came in at around 90 mins. I'm not sure if IMDb made a mistake with the times but i felt 90 mins was just about right as i hate to think that the other hour would have been filler.
It's set in Spain in 1976 and stars (for the most part) 2 couples - Gary Oldman and his wife Aitana Sánchez-Gijón and Paddy Considin (Hot Fuzz, The Bourne Ultimatum) and his wife Virginie Ledoyen (The love interest of Di Caprio in The Beach). It concerns the 2 men (Considine & Oldman) who while out hunting near Oldman's grandmothers old house in the forest's of Spain come across a dilapidated house. In it they find a girl who is disfigured and locked in what is a sty. They rescue her and take her home with the intention of taking her to the police. it isn't long before her family (who they met earlier in the nearest village bar) come looking for her.
It is a decent film with good acting, however it's the head of the household that have the locked up girl - Lluis Homar who steals the show (all his dialog is in Spanish) with his acting done primarily with his expressions and his eyes ala Jack Nicholson.
It's not as gritty as Deliverance and doesn't set out to be comic like Severance, I don't think it's quite as good as either of those films, but it is decent.
