Bienvenue à Madrid en 1976. Voilà un an que le général Franco a cassé sa pipe pour le plus grand soulagement d’un pueblo enfin libéré, délivré. C’est dans cette ambiance de liesse que débarque la famille Olmedo, heureuse propriétaire d’un appartement acheté à bas prix, au 32 rue Malasaña. C’est un nouveau départ pour Manolo et sa famille, une nouvelle vie même. Alors, oui, il faudra se serrer la ceinture : ça ne sera pas facile tous les jours et le crédit hypothécaire n’est pas donné, mais tant que la famille restera soudée et que Pépé ne leur fait pas trop de crises d’incontinence sur le parquet, ça devrait aller. Sauf que, dans la catégorie des vices vachement bien cachés, nos naïfs provinciaux vont vite découvrir que leur nouvelle casa est une attraction hantée à elle toute seule et c’est le petit Rafi qui en fera les frais le premier, quand il sera littéralement avalé par les murs de l’appartement… (Brussels International Fantastic Film Festival)

A bit like a Spanish Insidious, a very well crafted spook flick that suffers mainly because of how generic it is (the appearance of Javier Botet playing the same emaciated supernatural monster as always is symptomatic). If it was eighty-minutes long, I wouldn’t complain and I’d have no problem giving it four stars, but the second half was unpleasantly long. That said, it can be taken without hesitation as a snack to kill boredom.

A perfect Spanish ghost story in the style of Insidious! I should point out up front that I probably like ghost stories the least out of horror movies, so the chances of one catching my eye are maybe 1 in 20, and this one pleased me greatly. Story-wise, the film doesn't really bring anything new to the table. A family moves into an apartment where ghosts appear to them, which is perhaps the most basic plot, but never mind, the important thing is the feelings while watching and the impressions after watching, and they are very positive. The craftsmanship is superb, the atmosphere is very impressive, the scares are spectacular. The main character is likeable and most importantly there is a jump-scare every five minutes or so, and nasty and unpleasant ghosts appear, so it's quite a heart-attack-inducing ride with an almost perfect soundtrack. An unexpected surprise and the Spaniards score points with me again this year. Story***, Action>No, Humor>No, Violence*, Entertainment****, Music*****, Visuals****, Atmosphere*****, Suspense****. 8/10.
