Watch The Hidden Face For Free

Crappy film

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

1. The key is on her neck in the video clip, and Adrian replayed the clip many times, he must be attentive to this key. But when Fabiana found the key and put the key on her neck, Adrian didn't ask a word about the key.2. Adrian kept ignoring every doubt of Fabiana about "ghost thing in the room"3. Adrian denied the body recognize without any hesitation even he didn't check the body carefully.

This Spanish/Colombian thriller takes its time to get going but it is one of those films which may be slow to start but really improves once you start to realise what has really been going on. Consequently, it is a film which makes you think it would be well worth watching it again but with the benefit of foreknowledge. The story revolves around a famous concert conductor whose girlfriend has gone missing. As police hover around him, he begins a new relationship with a cocktail waitress. This latter girl experiences some strange events in his house.It's nigh on impossible to discuss this film without revealing spoilers. Given that the central conceit involves the missing girlfriend discovering a secret room in the house when an ex-owner alerts her to it, a room which allows those within to observe and see but to remain in secret themselves. She enters it to test her boyfriend's loyalty by watching him but unfortunately accidentally locks herself in. It's actually a brilliant idea, as it allows the film to operate in several different ways. Firstly, it generates considerable suspense as we empathise easily with the woman caught in this trap. Secondly, it allows the film to open up like it is a ghost story with all the requisite unexplained spooky goings on. And thirdly, it works on a psychological level where, once the two women become aware of one and other, their actions have a self-preservation aspect which furthers the drama and intensifies the horror. The story in fact tells the story from three perspectives, the conductor and both of the women. In this way it allows the differing angles in which they see the situation to create their own dynamics. None of the characters ever fully know what the others are up to and these gaps in knowledge are used to great effect by the film-makers to create suspense and intrigue.

I started watching this film a few years ago, and didn't finish it because my mind was saying, "There are only a few predictable scenarios here, so why bother!" And so I skipped it almost midway. I decided to give it a go again because I actually forgot I had seen it before, and I must say I was impressed all around. I gave the film 8 stars instead of 7 because of the ending, which is exactly why others may find it unsatisfying. A well written, and very plausible thriller, if you are patient enough to stick with it.

These Spaniards have proved more than once that they sure as hell know how to make a good movie. Once more, a movie of theirs turns out to be brilliant! The story starts abruptly but you get into it quite soon and with no problems. It contains more than one plot twists and it surely manages to keep you at the edge of your seat. Acting was brilliant on all sides involved and the setting, especially this amazing house was ideal. I am not going into any details about the plot or any spoiler of any kind, but I will say that this was the first movie after a long time that made me mad! For more than half an hour before the end, I was at the edge of my seat, rooting for my preferred ending, cursing and throwing stuff around each time something I did not like happened.I got into it completely, ignoring any rational thoughts (like, "chill dude, it's just a movie"). When a movie does that to you, then it's either a 9 or a 10, nothing less. This movie is a must-see of the few that exist out there. I loved the ending as well as the way in which it was reached... Just get your hands on it and watch it!
