aka The Body
Julia's Eyes screenwriter Oriol Paulo writes & directs El Cuerpo, a slick 'n smart mystery/thriller that is sure to please those looking for unpredictable twists and turns galore.
It strikes with a paranoid Hitchcock-ian style that occasionally manages to get in a few good scares as well. Aided by some wonderful performances the film keeps a brisk pace that never slows down until the jaw-dropping finale that unfolds in a beautiful slow-burning manner that leaves room for the viewer to catch their breath. Unfortunately a film like this calls for just a bit more edge to truly be as effective as it wants to be but it never musters up enough brawn to pack that extra bite.
