"Ánimas" is part psychological horror, part homage to classic movies from the likes of Argento and De Palma. Unpredictable, enigmatic and, at times, creepy, this won't be to all tastes but it's an original and brave film.
It's also a beautiful movie, thanks to the striking cinematography by Fran Fernández Pardo. The majority of scenes are bathed in a warm glow of green and pink, reminiscent of the original version of "Suspiria".
Clare Durant is mesmerising as the tortured Alex.
The soundtrack is wonderful.
8 out of 10. A wonderful slice of Spanish horror.
