Not original, barely watchable.

I watched this because I'm a fan of horror, and I'm a Spanish speaker so I figured why not. This thing is not original and that's really the essential problem. It's just another cheesy hollywood folk horror about young people going off on an adventure and finding dangerous people but instead of being rednecks in Alabama, it's deformed people in the Pyrenees. The found footage us interspersed with images of a 90's newscast about a health emergency that's causing stillbirths and deaths. As usual, there's the archetypecal "hot girl" who, in the 7 episodes, never stops wailing and crying and screaming like some sort of deranged cow. The other kids are as vexing as her in different ways. Honestly this could have been any terrible Hollywood movie, there's nothing original, the acting is forgettable, the writing is bananas. The only virtue it has is that each episode is only 15 minutes long so you can quickly plow through it.

Technology vs Tourism

After watching (scanning) this miniseries, I lost the will to ever walk the Camino de Compostela. And so will others. When the "how" becomes more important that the "what," you get a lot of nothing. I was so sorry to have wasted my time watching this failed attempt at achieving some sort of cinematographic genius!

Looks promising but...

Warning: Spoilers
They didn't know how to end it so it doesn't really ends, it just finish without explanation like The Devil Inside. So many incoherences along the way that we are supposed not to think but that doesn't make sense in a found footage. It doesn't respect the rules, because it will spoil his idea so he ignores them and creates new ones but I don't believe his characters will record what the did. It starts creepy and scary but loose all the power as soon as you know what's happening. Also is sadic, the director thinks he's Haneke torturing the audience, mistreating the characters we were supposed to root for but in the end it's just tasteless. Also the originality lays only on being the first using found footage for this specific horror sub genre. Nothing makes sense and it left me angry. Top list of least satisfying horror endings.
