Jaume Balagueró's first feature film.
A mother receives a call from her daughter who was allegedly murdered five years earlier. A former police officer and a journalist help in the investigation that reveals a sect called The Nameless that may be behind the events.
The premise seems good and the film plays out more like a criminal investigation (which I also like) than a horror film. But it's too slow with questionable points in the narrative (why do they never involve the official authorities even when their lives are in danger?) and an abrupt ending that doesn't explain anything. What purpose is there for the cult in tormenting Angela or forcing her to matricide? If the intent was to create a vessel for evil it would never work, it would just create a vessel of resentment against her captors! Stupid cult totally illogical. What's the point?
