Average slasher with hilarious touches and set at a village where happens grisly killings
ma-cortes1 October 2021
A Catholic ritual has been banned for 20 years in a Spanish village due to an incident when the young who impersonated Judas suddenly died . Nowadays , the Mayor : Marta Calvó and the Archbishop - Emio Gutierrez Caba- have lift the ban on one condition : there will be no stoning during the enactment of "The Gold Nail". Then , a series killer starts committing ominous killings , whose victims are popular villagers as the hairdresser , the pharmaceutic and several others . Along the way , a young reporter named Mercedes : Blanca Jara becomes involved in twisted events , including her imprisonment and while she attempts to find out the creepy murders .

A criminal comedy with thrills, chills , mystery , suspense and brief doses of humor with tongue-in-cheek . The film moves in fits and starts most of which would be desirable , with more traps the viewer resists any kind, and some moments of enjoyment and others quite a few embarrassing as well as extremely ridiculous . Here the main entertainment results to be to guess who's the notorious secondary appearing here and there , such as : Manuel de Blas , Luis Varela, Marta Calvó , Lola Marceli , Berta Ojea, Ana María Vidal, Ramon Lillo, Antonio Medina, Luis Varela , Enrique Villén , recently deceased Cesáreo Estébanez , among others . Villa del Prado and Aldea del Fresno were the Madrid locations in which the shooting was carried out . Lousily performed , though taking part of this production about 60 actors and around 800 extras . Being headed by Emilio Gutierrez Caba (La Comunidad , Gran Reserva) , Juanjo Artero ( Verano Azul , El Comisario) , Jesus Olmedo (Hospital Central, Hispania la Leyenda) and Blanca Jara (Y decirte alguna estupidez, por ejemplo, te quiero , La Conjura del Escorial) . Co-produced by TVE , Telemadrid and Paso a Paso Productions proceeded to shoot a a project inspired by the Holy Week and popular parties.

The motion picture was regularly written -along with Fermin Cabal- and middlingly directed by Antonio Del Real . Antonio is good filmmaker expert on comedies such as has proved in ¨Crazy heart¨, ¨Por Fin Solos¨, ¨Cafe coca y Puro¨ ,¨Woman of your life¨ , ¨Men always lie¨, ¨ Powerful Influjo of moon¨ , ¨Buscando Perico¨ and his greatest success : ¨Cha ,Cha, Cha¨ . In addition , he also directed some drama as ¨El Rio Que Nos Lleva¨ and his previous film was ¨Conjura Del Escorial¨ based on historic deeds about intrigue and fight-power in court of Philip II and played by an international cast as Julia Ormond and Jason Isaacs , adding his daughter Blanca Jara , of course . El Clavo de Oro (2014) rating : 4.5/10 . Very mediocre film only for hardcore Spanish cinema enthusiasts .
