Strong direction from Guillem Morales. He knows hot to effectively frame his shots and can milk tension out of any sequence. He easily creates a moody atmosphere and can visually scare you at will.
The problem is the script. It's boring. Story's about a twin investigating her blind sister's suicide. Turns out there's a mysterious man that keeps popping up and our lead begins to suspect her sister was murdered.
If you're going to make a thriller, you need a strong villain. Here, the villain actually runs away from out lead for half of the film. And it's hard to understand his motivation. He wants to keep his victims blind so that they become totally dependent upon him. This motivation simply isn't strong enough to sustain our interest.
Get Morales a decent script and he will deliver magic.
