All opinions are my own. We are all different. What I may think is great, you may this terrible. Don't let my opinios stop you from exploring the vast world of horror in all media.

~Mind Blowing: Search for this movie immediately. It can only be described as pure greatness and possible an instant classic.

~So Good: Highly recommended because for one reason or another it stands out above the usual fair. Put the movie on your radar as it wont disappoint.

~In the Middle: The movie is a nothing special, average affair. It may entertain in the short term but it will be easily forgettable in the long haul.

~Warning: This movie is a cliched driven slop of familiar territory. Only watch if you're really of fan of this type of material.

~Steaming Pile: The movie is absolute garbage, a complete bore, and not worth the time or effort.

The Hidden Face (2011)

AKA: La Cara Oculta

Starring: Martina Garcia, Clara Lago, Quim Gutierrez
Director: Andres Baiz

Premise:
A couple are having a rough spot in their relationship. The woman finds a secret room in their house where she can spy on him. She makes it look like she left him in order to resolve their issues and locks herself in the room. But she forgot the key and is trapped. The man is left to wonder what happened to her and moves on with his life, including a new girlfriend, while the old girlfriend is left to watch.

My Take:
Overall, I enjoyed the movie but I do have a major problem as the viewer doesn't really know the timeline between when the old girlfriend locks herself in the room and the guy starts dating again. And how did she survive that long without food? Beside those obvious flaws it's entertaining to watch the new girlfriend try to figure out what is going on and if the house is haunted

Rating: In the middle
