Am I missing something?!

I thout this is gona be another marvelous spanish horror movie, but... I'm not completely sure what I just did watched, probably I missed something important in the story because for me this is well written story and just it. Acting is ok, not great, but ok.

On the other side scenography and atmosphere are absolutely stunning.
