Review : Julia's eyes
Under darkness
Again we are talking about a new horror movie and intrigue by the hand of a young director of our film, albeit covered by a Guillermo del Toro sometimes hard to believe that actually engage in some projects. A genus very well treated in recent years in our country, and breaking new ground in terms of aesthetics and originality. In our eyes are still films like "The Others", "Rec," "The Orphanage" and directors like Pastor Fresnadillo or siblings, with some relevance outside our borders.
This time the film is signed by Guillem Morales, of which only know the modest "The inhabitant uncertain", and which has been given the opportunity to have a good cast and a careful production.
The end result can not be said that falls short of the above. With Oriol Paulo designing a script but has some appeal at the beginning of the film, as the story unfolds is becoming a collection of cliches and trite elements that force to go slowly losing interest.
Julia is a woman who is slowly losing his sight due to degenerative disease, as happened to her twin sister. This environment will take advantage of darkness to play with fireworks Morales fairly conventional although in a proper and acceptable in some moments. The problem is that all that surprising adventure, novel or intriguing is becoming lace script abrupt leave feeling we have ever seen this or another scene, and makes the story very conservative history and with little fanfare imaginative.
To raise the tone of the movie one better than Lluis Homar an excellent new paper, and the popular Belén Rueda, who while making a quite remarkable role is obscured by the limitations of the character created, and above all by the blatant recent copy of the character Laura in the movie "The Orphanage." And the truth is that there are some more similarities with this film that made us question cast the election seriously.
Morales also keeps us a little tribute to "The Silence of the Lambs" and allows us to recall happy times of gender, although the difference is palpable and too prominent.
Overall, the movie enjoys a more for fans of the genre, and with some appeal for the rest, with few ambitions in advance and with the urgent and implausible need to please all audiences.
