A pretty fun, but basic Spanish slasher. Considering all the meta elements, it's a film that lies closer to the 90s-era slasher than its 80s relative, but as the 90s revival is in full force these days that's to be expected. It's certainly not the most original film, but with Halloween right around the corner, it's the perfect horror filler.

There's a definite Scream vibe running through the film, just with a few more contemporary touches. The pacing is solid, the scares and costumes are fun and the cinematography is colorful. The plot isn't the strongest part of the film and the twists left me cold, but other than that, good entertainment.
