In the middle of the night, a guard working the night shift at a morgue located deep in the woods has a terrible car accident. But, why did the guard panic and left his post in the first place? Furthermore, according to the register, the body of Mayka Villaverde--a beautiful and affluent businesswoman--is mysteriously missing from the morgue. Presumably, Mayka died of a heart attack; nevertheless, who signed the death certificate, as her autopsy is still pending? In the end, there is a general principle in forensic medicine which specifically states that every death is a homicide until proven otherwise. But, finding out who is behind this fiendishly difficult case is going to be an arduous task. Can Inspector Jaime Peña get to the bottom of it? Written by Nick Riganas

The Body executes its ideas very well and has some solid acting. I like these kind of movies, because you feel like you are trying to be a detective as well and trying to figure out what the hell is going on. This is the case with The Body, a movie that will have you gripping your seat trying to find the answers for the entire duration of the movie. And you probably won't, until it is revealed. And when it is, well I won't lie it really has that been there, done that feeling. No spoilers but it seems it borrowed a lot from Usual Suspects, but the things that actually unfold seem a bit unrealistic. I didn't buy the ending, which is the weaker part of the movie you could say. But still, solid entertainment coming from a Spanish production.
