Can you ever

Have a movie plot that doesn't include some stupid unnecessary love interest???? It's like every country girls falls for some dude they don't know from a can of beans. Yet it seems to be the go to cliché for lazy script writers and more nonsensical BS to pad the run time.Just expound on the central topic and leave to forced fake unrealistic romance BS to the romance/drama/romcom movies. It's either these fake love interest or gratuitous nudity that sucks the life out of films in which horror and scary situations are supposed to be the order of the day. Well that and the often used stupid people doing the most outrageously stupid things are other cliches we see often here.And I haven't even watched this yet, and I already see the writing on the wall.

Almost as hard to find as Quintanar.

The house of snails, or, The movie you didn't heard of, is a Spanish production relying heavily on mystery and a suspense.I don't think it's quite up there with a lot of these great Spanish movies before it, but it does come close. And the fact that it is, let's say, weirder, doesn't compensate whatsoever. It was quite a nice try that didn't deliver as it should, and it does leave the viewer a little empty.I did enjoy it, loved the scenery, the isolation - one of my favorite themes in the horror genre, the small village and its residents. It has some great little details put in there that makes this feel quite natural and helps you connect with the characters. They do feel alive and you can emphasize with their frustration, confusion or even rage.But I don't believe this one is for everyone, even as a die hard horror/mystery you could still feel like it just isn't enough there. A movie that surely could have been better, but it turned out as it did either because this is exactly what the director wanted or because the lack of experience in story making.All in all I do recommend it for a one time view, it does deserve to be on the list with the great Spanish mysteries.Cheers!
