6/10
This mystery thriller builds tension by showing virtually eerie images , unsettling score and evocative settings
4 May 2016
Spanish mystery movie film full of thrills , suspense , chills , intrigue and plot twists . It gives a terrifying and disturbingly juvenile view of fears in which posses an element of horror about human organ transplants . The motion picture is pretty well , although sometimes slow moving and packs turns ; however , being entertaining for continuous suspense and unsettling atmosphere . It deals with Guillermo or William (Raúl Mérida) , a young who started an investigation after discovering by chance an old revealed photographic film in the renovation of the house of their fathers . His discovery uncovers enigmatic frames and a familiar face : his best childhood friend , Ivan , gone for too long . As William becomes involved with a mysterious investigation that leads a sinister group (Manuel Morón , Joaquin De Almeida , Felipe García Vélez) commanded by a heinous old woman , Jean Christophe (Geraldine Chaplin) . Along the way he discovers a lot of tracks , being helped by Daniela (Sara Sálamo) , Ruso (Adam Jezierski) and his youngest brother Mario (Guillermo Estrella) . As the valiant bunch pulls the threads , but the initial curiosity of the quartet becomes more and more terrifying .

This nail-biting movie packs excellent creation of creepy taut , thriller , emotions and rare atmosphere . Mystery , terror , eerie intrigue about a young seeking clues about a strange disappearance . This exciting , bizarre film contains tension , thriller , drama , mystery , plot twists and shocks , including decent scares with tense and thrilling sequences especially in its final part , in a creepy denouement . Tense , interesting screenplay by Luiso Berdejo who wrote -and also produced- the strange plot revolving the mental disintegration of a young who suffers continuous nightmares and overwhelmed by the friend's disappearance and the various astonishing surprises he finds . Here rookie filmmaker Alejandro Ezcurdia embarks into a phantasmagorical , or even quasi-surrealist story . The picture is thrilling and some moment brilliant , and the actors are quite reliable . As acceptable acting by Raoul Mérida as a passionate young university surfer who becomes involved into a dangerous investigation of unexpected consequences , as well as his pal and sweetheart , the gorgeous Sara Sálamo . Support cast is pretty well , filled with veteran players in brief interventions , such as : Manuel Morón , Felipe García Vélez , Joaquin De Almeida and special mention for Geraldine Chaplin as old evil-doer .

Intelligent edition , special use of dark as well as atmospheric sets and slick utilization of shock images make this one , a decent mystery film . Sinister and mysterious atmosphere is finely photographed by a nice cameraman , Johnny Yebra , that heightens the suspense . He photographs splendidly the appropriate interiors and colorful exteriors from Donostia-San Sebastián , Guipúzcoa, País Vasco and including ¨Hotel Maria Cristina¨ of the city of Donosti . Adequate and suspenseful musical score by Roque Baños . Roque has made a prestigious career , as National : ¨800 bullets¨ , ¨Fragiles¨ , ¨Celda 211¨ , as International : ¨In the heart of the sea¨, ¨Cantinflas¨, ¨Old boy¨ , ¨Evil Dead¨ , ¨Machinist¨, ¨Sexy beast¨. The motion picture produced by the great Santiago Segura was professionally directed by Alejandro Ezcurdia at his film feature debut , here he includes genuine chills , suspense , mystery and dark atmospheres . However , "Three-60" or ¨Tres 6¨ failed at the Spanish box office .
