COSMIC SLEEP

An argument that doesn't seem to be where it's going, and in fact it doesn't know where it's going.It's the first, bad version of a script that a teenage film student would write in a weekend.Of course, the ending is not at all predictable, but if it is not at all it is unfortunately for the wrong reason: It is without a doubt the worst part of the film.It's a bad student scenario.From the start it doesn't work: a gogo dancer from the "Fabrik" nightclub in Madrid decides to steal pills (the only motive of the film is perhaps to allow the fashionable actress to be sexy while time) in the nightclub where she works and abandoning her car and her cell phone about three meters from the room... to walk to a building from where, inexplicably, she never leaves. Well, after waiting a long time for something exciting to happen, more than three-quarters of the way through the movie, it looks like something is going to happen...There's satanic cultism in the air, a full moon looks like it's about to trigger an alien invasion, a goddess of evil approaches, and then finally poops, pretty much nothing.Nothing works, nothing is even correct, it's not horror, it's no longer a thriller, the bad guys seem to come from teletubbies, who are surely smarter!Ten minutes before the end the heroine, a badass, exclaims: And now we're going to dance; We tell ourselves that at least these last ten minutes will turn into an effective settling of scores against the bad guys, the witches, the monstrous servant, the goddess of evil...We are treated to a minimalist fight with one of the bad guys, and a shotgun blast at an old woman!And the ending, yes I'll come back to it again, is so stupid that I felt embarrassed for the director. Because it's hard to believe that the director of Rec could have made such an empty film. Sometimes it's better to retire on time. With such a poorly constructed storyline, it's hard to come up with something decent that can't even be described as cheap teen gore. Another great failure of Spanish cinema which pretends to make horror cinema and puts people to shame.Don't waste your time on this.

Such a let down. No epic battle.

This started out really good. Looked like it was leading up to something epic. I for sure thought an epic battle between the Mafia with machine guns and the fat monster lady. It was gonna be epic. DIDN'T HAPPEN. Instead we got no fight and a lazy ending.Nothing else to say except we were promised one thing and got another. No battles, no kills, nothing.Even the killing of the witches was lazy and wasn't even shown to us.This could have been such an amazing movie. Maybe the budget was low or bad writers.Also we don't even know if the mom died. They just left her. Didn't even try and rescue her.Finally the queen did nothing.

Mixed bag

This was at least a little original and was well acted throughout. It was actually a great watch until the end. It was like the writer couldn't figure out how to end the film. It felt cheap and rushed. Also, considering there was lots of blood, there was nothing horrific or scary about it. It couldn't decide if it wanted to focus on the crime aspect or the supernatural. This is definitely worth a watch, but it could have been sooooo much more than the mediocre offering it became. In the right hands, this movie would be served well with a remake, that focuses more on the supernatural, adds a few more kills, and cleans up that absolutely idiotic ending.
