Ah this took me back to my physiology class where we learned about leptin through parabiosis of rats.
A Spanish mystery thriller on Netflix where two people got sewn together and had to try to get out of the ordeal.
I'm pretty sure I enjoyed this movie a lot more than the general reviews that I have seen on Letterboxd. When the movie started I could feel pain in my belly. It's such a nasty yet interesting concept that drawn me into the movie. Even though the movie was only a hour, its pacing was quite slow, but this actually kept the intensity high for me. The conversations between the characters were weird at times, but I wasn't bothered that much.
Good concept is one thing, but execution is a different story. This aspect was where I was majorly disappointed. Ugh it's annoying how they butchered the potential. The twist in this movie could have been handled way better to have significantly more impact. For some reason it was like they downplayed the twist. Because of this, the last 20 minutes felt like the director got confused and led to the demise of the movie. My mind could have been blown away like when I watched The Invisible Guest (one of the best Spanish mystery thrillers that is also on Netflix), but I didn't get that, thanks to the lack of direction from the director.
Also, even though I said I wasn't bothered much from the conversations, the characters' behaviors and mindset were confusing and pretty unrealistic.
Overall, this had so so much potential to be a great body horror, but it fell short. That's my two cents. 6/10.
