The same producers , Mar Targarona and Joaquin Padró , who ulteriorly will make ¨The orphanage¨ ¨The Julia's eyes¨ or ¨Los Ojos De Julia¨ , ¨X3pd¨ , and ¨The Body ¨or ¨El Cuerpo¨ bring us another unsettling film , this ¨El Habitante Incierto ¨ or ¨The uncertain guest¨ . The film contains tension , thriller , drama , mystery , plot twists and shocks , including decent scares with tense terror sequences especially in its final part , in a creepy denouement , near of the end . It deals with an architect called Felix (Andoni Gracia) who has just split up with his fiancéé called Claudia (Monica Lopez) and inhabits a big mansion in the great city of Barcelona . Then a stranger into your house to use your telephone , while he has been patiently waiting in the kitchen , he finds out how many hiding places there really are at his home . But are there enough to hide another individual , a rare parasite of living space ? . The premise is the following : whether Felix being stalked by an strange visitor or is Félix really going nutty ? Open the door to your worst nightmare . This suspenseful movie was produced by the successful Catalan producers Mar Targarona and Joaquin Padró ; it displays relentless thriller , intrigue , Kafkaesque incidents , shocks , hard-edged drama , twisted plot , creepy images and some gore when crimes take place . ¨The uncertain guest¨ is a motion picture that balances precariously over the dark comedy , ¨Psycho¨ Hitchockian intrigue , Michael Haneke's ¨Funny games¨ invasion genre and Michael Powell's ¨Peeping Tom¨ style . Despite its low budget the picture manages to be intelligent , intriguing and thrilling . The good thing about this film is that the directors made it on a shoestring budget only having to do one set , yet the movie works on many levels but is constantly reconfigured . This is an interesting flick as well as a superbly written script delving into the human psyche in such extreme situation . The overall result is chilling proof that filmmaker Guillem Morales can take us back into a house while delivering a completely different scare . Although is sometimes slow moving and stagy , however is entertaining for continuous suspense . The cast is frankly well giving fine performances , though little known actors , such as Andoni Gracia as insane Felix and Monica Lopez as wheel-bounded-chair Vera ; including brief performances from Francesc Garrido and director Agusti Villaronga . Sinister and mysterious atmosphere is finely photographed by cameraman Sergio Bartroli , being filmed on location , mostly interiors , in Valldoreix , Esplugues De Llobregat , Sant Cugat del Vallès , Barcelona , Catalonia, Spain . Suspenseful and stirring musical score by Marc Vaillo. Spanish fantastic film has been having an incredible renaissance over the past 15 years. From Álex De la Iglesia to Jaime Balaguero to Alejandro Amenábar to Paco Plaza to Nacho Vigalondo, all range of horror, science fiction and fantasy has been pouring out of the country, to be embraced by cinephiles and cult film enthusiasts , and with ¨The uncertain guest¨ by Guillem Morales , the Spanish terror cinema advances more and more . This motion picture relatively cheap was professional and tautly written and directed by Guillem Morales who subsequently realized another hit titled ¨The Julia's eyes¨ also dealing with violent confrontation among two characters . The movie will appeal to suspense enthusiasts and twisted intrigues buffs . It's well worth watching and contains some really eerie scares and disturbing images . This is without a doubt a thought-provoking and thrilling film to be liked for suspense fans , turning out to be one of the most original Spanish movies of the last years . A new international version of 'The Uninvited Guest' is on its way along with remakes of Guillem Morales' Julia's Eyes The Orphanage' from Ja Bayona" and as well as a remake of Oriol Paulo's The Body.

This will contain spoilers, so don't read on if you want to experience the full disappointment that this film delivers.First of all, the idea is fantastic. It could have been a superb psychological thriller or an outstanding horror movie. Instead it turned out to be complete trash. The problems are as follows: 1. Every plot twist is predictable. His wife's undisclosed pregnancy, his shooting of the wife, his eventual discovery that something really was going on in his house, the fact that his neighbor wanted her husband dead so that she could be with his friend. All of that was telegraphed long before the reveal, which meant there were no surprises.2. The ending doesn't follow. The premise is this: Man2 comes to Man1's house to use the phone, claiming the pay phone doesn't work outside. Man2 then disappears and Man1 thinks he is living in the house unseen. Man1 starts to lose his mind over this and eventually shoots his estranged wife when he mistakes her for Man2. (SIDE NOTE: Why could the wife talk at the end, but not when Man1 was firing bullets at her? No scream, nothing. It makes no sense) Man1 then goes in search of information about Man2 and finds his home. He takes up secret residence their with Man2's wife. She never knows Man1 is in the house. Eventually we learn about the basement and the fact that Man2 spent a lot of time down there. Finally, Man1 explores the basement and finds Man2 dead in a surprisingly well-constructed tunnel wide enough to drive a golf-cart through and lit with electricity.There is no way to make any of this fit. First, it isn't clear if Man2 ever lived in Man1's house. If he did, why was the tunnel walled up perfectly? It could not have been the means by which Man2 came and went from Man1's house unseen because Man1 was in the basement frequently and the wall was clearly intact. Further, it appeared that Man2 was trying to break through the wall, which suggests he had never gotten through it before he died and thus could not have used it as an ingress.At this point, you may think that Man2 was trying to get OUT after his wife locked in the basement so that she could carry on with the best friend. However, this also doesn't fit. It doesn't fit because no one trying to escape takes the time to build an elaborate tunnel, complete with brick archways and electricity. It also, in no way, ties together why Man2 ever went to Man1's house to place a phone call. If he were in danger, he could have just used the pay phone that he claimed was broken.So, we have no reason for this tunnel AT ALL. The rest of the plot makes sense, but this ending totally destroys that. This could have been just a disappointment because it was so predictable. Instead, it was a disappointment for that reason and because the story used to get the ball rolling doesn't make any sense in the end. Ultimately, you get the "God in the Machine" feeling where the author just came up with some BS to try to tell one story and inadvertently told two stories and had no freaking clue how to conclude both.Total junk. Don't watch it. Save yourself the 100 minutes.P.S. If this review is disjointed, its because the utter insanity of this crap-fest is still swimming in my brain.

As a Horror fan, I was fairly disappointed that (yet again) another film was tagged/labeled as Horror when it simply isn't. I don't know how long it will take before it finally sinks in - a Thriller is not Horror. The difference might be less obvious and more subtle and nuance depended than the difference between Comedy and Drama, but it's there!However, as a films fan and a literature fan, I was very pleasantly surprised. The Uninvited Guest has one of the best script/ideas I've ever seen. The way the protagonist Felix is haunted by the intruder in his house (or maybe just his paranoid thoughts of one?) and then ends up as such in a similar situation himself is artistic and almost genius.The acting of the main characters is excellent, Andoni Gracia and Monica Lopez have really given lives to the script. The other characters I believe weren't important enough to director/writer Morales vision, they could have been given a little more depth. No harm done though, and the sensations of confusion, discomfort and bizarre anxiety in the audience weren't negatively affected.The ending had a very nice (if somewhat predictable) twist, and could be understood in more than one way. All in all, while not exactly frightening or horrific, The Uninvited Guest is a clever, original and innovative film. Recommended!

Absurd story where a man thinks there may be an intruder living in his house. An attempt is made for a surreal feel in the movie but it just winds up being dumb and dull. We are supposed to be interested in questions like - is the man imagining this scenario and maybe going crazy, or is there really an intruder? But it fails to be involving with cardboard characters and a slow pace where nothing really happens and the answer is who cares what is really going on. The asinine twist that takes place in the middle of the film causes it to truly go off the deep end. It's not scary in any way, despite what the title may sound like, and not a thriller either. Hard to put this in a genre except to call it mediocre and a bad imitation of a David Lynch film. Everything seems forced with fake tension and unfunny attempts at comedy. I should have given this movie a wide berth.
