Maury and Bustillo return with an ice-cold police procedural that reminded me of their Spanish counterparts. There's a supernatural angle that makes things a bit spookier and the duo's familiarity with the horror genre certainly helped, but in the end, this is a clear, unfiltered police mystery.
The setting is moody, the performances are strong and there are some pretty uncomfortable moments scattered throughout. The build-up is slow but deliberate and the finale is effective. It's maybe a bit too much by the numbers, especially for a genre that's not my absolute favorite, but I had a lot of fun with this one.
