If you are looking for the usual horror movie with plenty of blood and teenagers killing,this is not your cup of tea.This is not a mindless childish work ;there are two characters of flesh and blood and we get to know them quite well before the "horror "begins.More than a horror movie,it is a psychological drama as well as a political work:how hangmen get rid of people-who-do-not-properly-think " ,says the torturer ,how those commies who do not believe in God implore Him when their life is at stake!Pablo is an idealist ,his adventures are a transparent metaphor of how he wants to change history;his sister ,we learn it between her lines- knows from the start there is nothing to do for people from the past ;everything is illusion.The last pictures leave us only one hope :"let that never happen again!"
The movie displays a strong Amenabar influence ,but the screenplay ,marred by many plot holes ,lacks rigor.However,"Aparecidos" is a good example of serious adult horror movie
