La casa muda (2010)
7/10
gr8 thrilling movie
2 July 2011
Warning: Spoilers
The movie doesn't fit any particular pattern which cause typical viewers to think it is stupid or un-proper horror. I think they should firstly review their own tastes (maybe go back watch some more ppl crying on their legs being eaten with the blood all over) and not comment the film that is above their level of understanding.

The plot is easy but seems not to be straight because the logic in it is disturbed in some parts (which makes for the biggest minus). Beside that, the film is shot with a hand of a master, with no more than few takes glued the way you won't notice. Camera goes with main character in almost every (close) detail and is truly presented in her's (chars) point of view rolling live. Jaws go down on how the surroundings are being animated offstage to follow the action with no stumbles.

Music and sounds are well-matched and the're mostly responsible for building the thrill (as in any proper movies; and the proper match isn't that common happening after all, so it definitely goes for the plus).

The ending is astonishing when finally she gets mad in deep, killing her ex and departing to no-place with either her imagined daughter or the ghost which caused all this to happen. Bit confusing, but as said the plot structure isn't perfect.

I give it 7/10 like in most decent movies I've seen. In this case the holes in plot can be forgiven and after all the overall story isn't that bad. The technical finishing gives it a big booster. The movie won't make you sh** your pants, but will fulfill the time to enjoy.
