"Tienes la lengua del Diablo"

As I watched it, I kept thinking about this review and how I would compare it to one of Saw's sick games and home-alone.. after finishing, I won't even bother.While the production, location, camera-work gives it a decent look and making it visually interesting in parts (specially the "last confrontation"), it ultimately feels cheap and hollow. Delivering some rather repetitive scenes (as if to fill space), cheap newscaster edits that are always a turnoff, and a simple premise that was overwritten.. while also not leaving the viewer with anything memorable or a message to ponder about. There's no intrigue, just a cause and execution. Still, I was impressed at Simone Kessell's physicality, it anything at all.This premise could work well in the hands of a more restrained and capable storyteller, or simply by delivering a more a creative encounter. It is not punishing enough to enjoy, nor is it gory or satisfying for lovers of the genre.. It is lacking a few elements to feel complete.

When mediocrity and sensation make a good mix

A semi well-made, "totally" bada@@ movie production that's at least entertaining, both the first half and the second more "adrenaline-pumping" one. For an presumable and expected low-budget production, it is more than acceptable; has its share of grief, sensation and revenge on a small scale.The revenge part could have been more colorful and the ending was like "guys, let's finish up and go have a deserving lunch...".Screenplay/storyline/plots: 4.5Production value/impact: 4.5Development: 5.5Realism: 5Entertainment: 6Acting: 5.5Filming/photography/cinematography: 6.5VFX: 7Music/score/sound: 6.5Depth: 4.5Logic: 2.5Flow: 5.5Thriller/drama: 4Ending: 3.5.

Ending?

I don't get the ending when the picture of a killer is shown as a boy with Mom and Dad.Is his Dad Mary's Husband?Should we recognise him? The whole time I was watching, I was wondering when something interesting will happen.I'm not sure I like it at all. And the police arriving at the end took some sweet time. While at the other hand, her Husband was there and the Agent in a matter of minutes. Noisy neighbour was getting on my nerves as well. Not impressed at all. By the synopsis I thought it will be more about a high tech smart home and we saw nothing of that at all. By the end of writing my review, I went back and decrease number of stars given from 6 to 4.
