Guillem Morales directs Belén Rueda, Lluís Homar and Pablo Derqui in this Spanish psychological thriller involving twin sisters, eye transplants and suspicious suicides.

The sorta mystery where the drip feed of clues is so obvious you are constantly aware of the manipulation. Don’t you hate only getting half the story? That story mutates about three times meaning it is unpredictable but you never feel each new ripe set-up is ever fully exploited. Belén Rueda is a very attractive lead and there’s a couple of unnerving moments but this just never fulfils its potential. Hitchcock or De Palma would have cooked this concept up tasty hot.
