I agree with the other reviewers this is a good movie! I was pleasantly surprised!
Devilishly entertaining and fun terror and touches of black comedy about a kid and a blacksmith who become involved in terrible situations. As a Blacksmith : Kandido Uranga has captured a nasty demon, but things go wrong when a little girl , without knowing his badness , releases him .
Expectations matter. I had read enough negative reviews to know that this wasn't going to be a great movie.
Rich story with great characters and a good sense of humor.
The film has its own originality, given that it is a Basque production (debut work by director Paul Urkijo Ajilo), therefore a rare example of an almost unknown cinematography. This would be enough to see it and then there is the character Sartael, a disgraced demon, who is one of the nicest appearances in a fictional horror!
Spanish filmmakers have delivered many of the best horror films of the last decade. Unlike the French and Central European horror filmmakers whose work tends to revolve around human savagery, the Spanish films lean towards the supernatural.
You watch a horror movie of a grotesque theme , like the old legends you could hear from very old villagers finally come to life . Very, very entertaining and fun .
