the abandoned dolls, 16 February 2007
Author: Liverneck06 from United States

the abandoned is without a doubt one of the most bizarre, beautiful , original and scariest films I have seen in the past few years. I couldn't help but grab onto my seat throughout the entire movie. It's simply unlike anything you have ever seen before. It is a very remarkable film from more than just one viewpoint. In an era where you can only impress young horror fanatics with bucket-loads of blood and gross-out effects, Nacho actually re-teaches his audience that fear is especially caused by suggestion and the absence of explicit images. It is the first intelligent horror film in years, completely relying on atmosphere and eerie set pieces. It's such a relief to finally see a subtle film that is also effective!
