Directed by Álex de la Iglesia, written by Álex de la Iglesia and Jorge Guerricaechevarría, produced by Álex de la Iglesia, Mercedes Gamero and Mikel Lejarza.
Average viewer score of 6.3/10 from 1,378 ratings.
From Álex de la Iglesia, the master of cinematic absurdity, comes a claustrophobic mystery set in a single location. Though the trademark humor takes a backseat compared to his other films, it's no matter—the story grips you with curiosity and doesn't let go until the final moment.
