Stars is the absolute maxima extremadura for this movie, havings seen quite a few films lately that issues elderly vs violence, not violence upon the elderly but violent elders, that has become a popular item next to zombies and undead etc...

this is an extremely slow churning spanish horror movie, showing some of the worst cases of ælsheimer and picks syndrome with the entire realms of hallusinating symptoms among the senile population, combined with climate change and electromagnetic pollutioning, its set for a violent climax in the end. Its a volatile ''wait till youve turned the page'', extremely colourful visualistic product, with a decent cast that hasnt got the best of scriptuals to work on. They could also have given a better timeline for the whole callosum, heat domes over madrid has become the norm over the last years, so when wouldve told alot.

If you like spanish horror or spanish film in general i might recommend, but not on top of the grumpy old mans list.

To all health workers handling elderly people at work, just be aware...me, the grumpy old man am a nurse and ive seen the change in volatileness and violence among the elderly pasients over many years and the borderlines of commitment have moved over in favour of the elders, so the flick aint that unrealistic.
